Kovid plans someday on improving the viewer into a more fully-featured viewer that includes annotations support (beyond the current, bookmarks-only support) but, well, he has a lot of things he wants to do with calibre so who knows when he will find time to work on this?

FBReader sounds like a good bet. Cross-platform, runs on linux,
Thanks Boss. And thanks for the E-book viewer explanation. (I could find no identifying or "about" aspects on it.) I saw a post on MR where Kovid said highlighting is in the works, so yeah, maybe some day.

As far as ereaders go, I think Calibre's E-book Viewer is fantastic. It's just that when I read a good book I like to highlight things and go back and look at them later. I can do that on the Kindle Cloud Reader. I tried to send a mobi version of the book to Kindle Cloud Reader but it didn't work. (Maybe I should break down and buy a damn Kindle!) Thanks.
