Also, I would like to see support for reading html and text documents.

At present, one must use a browser to read html documents, which is very
inadequate. A browser is fine for reading web pages, newspaper articles online,
etc, but for reading e-texts, like novels, such as from Project Gutenberg, or
instructional texts, where it is necessary to read a section, remember one's
place in the file, and resume reading later on, a browser is not suited.

Another format that ought to be covered by Okular is plain ordinary text (txt)
files. Sure, one can read them in kwrite, but how do you remember the spot you
left off, so that you can resume reading at a later time? Kwrite is a text file
editor, not a dedicated reader. Again, scads of text files are available, from
Project Gutenberg and other sources, that require the ability to conveniently
and comfortably read a text and recall the location to come back to at a later
time.

Okular is a nice reader and makes a great all-in-one solution for reading for
learning and for enjoyment. At present, however, all of the important formats
that I have encountered are covered by Okular, except the two most important
formats of all, html and txt. As a result, I have had to resort to reading html
texts with fbreader (it remembers the spot where you left off, although you
cannot set multiple bookmarks). I haven't found a solution for text files,
except to record the line number in a file I create to manually record my
bookmarks. Okular should do this automatically.
