NAME
       ebook - 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.

       /lib/ebook/default.css
	      Initial stylesheet settings.
