EBOOK(1)EBOOK(1)NAMEebook - Open Ebook browser
SYNOPSIS
ebook/ebook [ -m ] file
DESCRIPTION
Ebook provides a graphical browser for a set of files in Open eBook
(OEB) version 1.0.1 format. It takes some care to try to ensure that
memory usage does not grow proportionally to the size of the book that
is being viewed. File names either an OEB package file (conventional
suffix .opf) or an OEB document (conventional suffix .html or .xml).
The -m option causes the window to be created in ``mini'' size as suit‐
able for display on a 240x320 pixel device.
GUI controls
Controls at the top of the window enable the user to move forward and
backwards by pages through the document. A ``Guide'' menu provides
access to the guide as found in the ebook package (if there is one). If
the links in this are followed, or if the reader follows links embedded
within the document, the up and down arrows enable moving backwards and
forwards in the ``link history''. Arrows on the keyboard mimic the
actions of the buttons at the top of the window.
Clicking in the text allows an annotation to made on the text; a text
window is popped up and any text typed in it will appear in a label
attached to that text. Annotations are stored in persistent storage
and will last from view to view of the document.
