+coolreader (e-book reader)
+
CoolReader is an e-book reader for various platforms.
+
+Supported file formats include plain text, HTML, RTF, Microsoft Word
+(.doc), Palm Pilot (.prc, .pdb, .pml, .mobi), FB2, and EPUB.
+
+Optional dependencies: The default user interface is Qt4, which
+doesn't require anything extra. If you prefer Qt5 or wxWidgets:
+
+qt5 - install qt5, then run: GUI=qt5 ./coolreader.SlackBuild
+
+wx - install wxPython or wxGTK3 (last one installed 'wins'), then run:
+ GUI=wx ./coolreader.SlackBuild
+
+Note: coolreader is "chatty": it logs a lot of meaningless warnings
+and errors to stderr. Unless there's an actual problem with the
+application, you can ignore this stuff.
