I don't think I understand - how do the toolbars in Evince affect the
Read activity? Doesn't Read just use the Evince libraries an

May be in a few months you can update to 11.2 and use a lot of new features,

Unfortunately it doesn't work on an XO (OLPC/XO-AU OS). The log file

Actually, Read Etexts already has a built-in downloader for Gutenberg
Etexts. Just open it from the Activity ring (instead of resuming an
existing text) and you'll see the Gutenberg-specific downloader.
It is much easier to implement text highlighting on a plain text file
than it is on a PDF, EPU
Well, you are describing our solution :)

On further thought, it seems to me that there should be two activities.
The first is a reader. At minimum it should read plain text, PDF and
EPUB files. The Read activity fulfils this requirement. An additional
