Task Proposal: eBook Reader

[Aaron J. Seigo]

User Story
=======
Jimmi has a number of eBooks in PDF and ePub format on his Plasma Active 
device. He opens the eBook reader which presents a list of books on the 
system. Selecting on the books, he can then start reading, starting from where 
he last left off. An elegant touch UI for navigating between pages, jumping 
chapters, jumping back to the collection, etc. is offered.

Why this is important
=============
Reading on a tablet is a key activity. Aside from web content, eBooks are very 
popular. It is the primary use of many tablets on the market right now, in 
fact. Okular is a good reader, but the UI is really clumsy for a touch device.

Proposed implementation
================
A QML UI for Okular which takes the core display and reader of Okular and adds 
a Nepomuk backed collection browser along with a touch-appropriate UI for 
reading: swipe to change pages and a menu button to bring up additional 
options such as "return to collection" or "go to table of contents".
