I might be biased, but I think gedit + orca might offer more features.   
;-)  Alternatively, if you're looking to write something new, you might  
try hooking up with various people working on DAISY Book readers.   
There are a few projects going on in this space right now, and I'm sure  
they would welcome capable help.
