A simpler reader?

I'm really struggling to find a suitable reader for my MSI Wind netbook. My ideal app would default to a fullscreen display with no GUI, letting me load files and adjust preferences via the context menu and hotkeys. Paragraph indents, spacing, and per-page word count would approximate an actual page in a book (this might be an issue w/ the files in some cases; so far I've only tried free ebooks, as I'm experimenting). And of course, it would be able to do all this for most common file formats.

I definitely don't need an iTunes-like "library." I'm probably going to be opening the same file, or maybe up to three different files, for a week or more. Why would I want it to index every book on my hard drive every time it opens? As long as it remembers the last file I used, I'm golden.

Is there anything out there remotely like this? I checked the wiki, and it suggests there's not
