The goal behind this request is to provide an easy way to READ our books online in a fashion that is easy for the eyes and also could improve scanning the text as we are looking for information.
I can think of two ways where this could be triggered:
1) Open a specific Window with these properties
2) Trigger this new mode for a current window by clicking a property
Basically, the functionality would be to remove anything that would distract us from READING and scanning the text. I want to improve the reading experience so that we could actually enjoy reading any of the hundreds of books available without many of the difficulties associated with reading on a computer screen.
I am aware that there is a full screen mode that is a good first step but it has the following problems:
1) Cannot set the Font just for this window to make it easy to read
2) Margins for the text cannot be set, so in my case with a wide screen lcd, it is a real problem to scan the text
I will update things as new things pop up, but to give people an idea of what it would actually look like. Check out this bookmarklet which does the same thing for text on the web:
