Hey, thanks a lot, Marcello, that's fantastic! Have you spammed the newsletter people (who's doing it nowadays?) about this? I think it's well worth a mention... Incidentally, I notice that the prefatory materials, in particular, page-break neatly on the *** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG ETEXT... line. Is this pure coincidence, or deliberate? If deliberate, is it a one-time heuristic that recognises the asterisks (or something similar), or do you do other heuristics in an attempt to locate chapter headings? How good do you find they are?

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.
