Would be great if it could format correctly the Project Gutenberg works...

You can use 'Textpad' (a semi-free text reader for windows.. and I think possibly, linux) to easily reformat these, but yes it would be a good idea if there were an ebook reader that could format one of the largest purveyors of ebooks.

By the way, this is a great little app. Thanks to the author.

2Xbook does!

I hacked some stuff together a few months ago to test my SDL_ttf subpixel patch. I named it 2xBook (yes, how original).
It does sorta what you describe.
features:

* a very crude autodetection for pre-wrapped ebooks (like gutenberg books)
* a tiny scrollbar
* a readable font, like yours, but it's set for white-on-black at the moment
(and it's Bold and Sans-Serif, never liked Serif'ed fonts on computer screens)
* extremely slow load times (that is, the first time you open a file)
* automatic bookmarks

buttons: <R> and <L> for PageUp/PageDown, <Start> to exit.

Wow, I didn't know about that one. Just tried it, and it does wrap great. With a few options to alter the background colour, and a different font, this would be best. Pretty surprised it was missed in our GP2X software directory http://www.linuxlinks.com/Handheld/GP2X/Software/ , but that has now been rectified.

A good PDF reader would be awesome too; definitely something I'd donate to.

In short it says "no time, so no promises".

But I would like to know your suggestion for the background color and/or font.

 

[goob]

Ideal would be letting the user choose the colours and fonts.

Of course. But good default settings are important too.

White text on black background. Font, the one used in Viewerdm.
