Not to rain on your parade, but ... compare with my script for converting PG .txt to html on the fly: http://isis.library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/pg-html/pg/etext03/ulyss12.txt Some attempt at reformatting would be nice. Your cookie idea for remembering where you got to is a nice touch -- but this seems to be the only justification for splitting a work into 50-line segments. 50 seems completely arbitrary -- 25 would probably fit the whole page into my screen, so I wouldn't need to scroll. 200 -- or 2000 -- would save me clicking on Next Page so often. I like the My Bookmarks feature. But I'd still rather download to my Palm, which gives me all these features and lets me take it away from my desk. Steve Marcello Perathoner wrote:
There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any bibliographic record page, eg.

Basically this paginates the txt file and remembers your last position in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file where the encoding is known.
