No, highlighting is not there.

Also I have a question about what you said about hyphenation. I thought TeX used an algorithm that Knuth created. Is that just for English? Or is it based on the algorthm of Liang that you mentioned?
The algorithm is generic enough to support various languages. As far as I understood, Liang's algorithm and the one in TeX are pretty much the same. The data files for English, Russian, French and German are taken from TeX and are included in the "package".

Do the hyperlinks work only within one book, or can they take you to another book, or to a web page in a browser?
They only work within one book and there are no provisions for external applications. It might be an interesting feature, but I'm sure it's gonna be quite at the end of the TODO list

Is there a downside to reading from a zipped version of a book (like maybe the hyperlinks break)? That sounds like a terrific feature for getting more books in one's storage.
The only downside is a possible slow down. I however do not see/feel it. As for the hyperlinks, if they are within one book, they still work properly

In one note, you said that the FBReader for Internet Tablet would be released when the new version of FBReader came out. I like the list of new features, but if I can vote, I'd jettison almost any one of them if it would help the program come out close to the release of the device. That's if I get to vote.
These are not different programs: it's one program. And even I participate in maemo porting activities, the main driver of the release is my friend.

On a slitely unrelated note, I updated fonts page with more screenshots that show how the same page looks using different fonts. Please let me know if you want to see something in particular.
