A major mode for reading e-texts like those found on Project Gutenberg.
Basically it extends ViewMode with some handy keys, bookmarking, and the ability to automatically extract the text file from a zipped text (like those from Project Gutenberg ).
Bookmarking the position in a zipped text file is handled correctly.
When visiting a file in the user set etxt-directory emacs will automatically switch to etxt-mode. Then when quitting the file it will ask if a bookmark is desired.
Put the Lisp:etxt.el file in your lisp path.
Add this to your ~/.emacs file:
(require 'etxt)
Start Emacs, then set your ebook directory with:
M-x customize RET etxt
To start etxt mode visit a file in your ebook directory or type:
M-x etxt.
