Monocle??

While poking around in the calibre directory today, I noticed under the content server folder, that there's a monocle.js file in the read folder.

Is this an indication of a feature to come??

From what I've seen of Monocle, this could be a really cool addition to Calibre, especially for those of us using computers for reading, vs devices. The state of windows epub readers is pathetic, especially touch aware ones.

I've played with other browser based readers, but none of them work with "pages", and thus maintain accurate, automatic bookmarking.

From the few demos I've played with, monocle works just like you'd expect from a standalone app.

Yes, monocle will be the basis of an embedded reader in the calibre content server
