I meant to say in the bove that Rekonq was a reasonable plain-text ebook reader on KDE, not Konqueror. My main point is that okular is my preferred program for reading ebooks, and unfrotunately at this time I can't use okular for plain-text ebooks. It really irks me, and I see this as a critical failing of okular as an ebook reader. Other ebook reader programs do not suffer from this lack. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
