Re: [orca-list] epub reader debian

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Just a little update, links are working correctly for me using enter now.
This is a great app with orca, i.e. it lets me rewind with up arrow if I miss something and then continues to 
read the page. I've st voice rate somewhat 
slower in app specific settings since I use a very fast setting as default, and it gives me a very good 
reading experience. 
I need to investigate a bit as to what can be configured, i.e. I don't see a prefferences item in the main 
menu, but there is a .ppub.conf file in my home 
dir where one can set catet to true. It's False by default.
Usercss is an option, so I am supposing one can configure font size, colors and such using a css file of some 
sort, but I've not looked at any docs yet.
Ppub is a python2 based program, and nice and light as it should be.
Unless something turns up that I'm not expecting I'm going to include ppub in my must have apps list, and 
with this around I'll start choosing epub as my 
default ebook format. 
This is a pleasant surprise/very glad the original question got me to take a quick look about.
Regards,
