Here is a little nifty program.
http://www.songbirdnest.com/
It's still in it's beta, so currently the easiest OS for it to run on is Linux, but even in it's beta, it's really awsom.

Song Bird, is like iTunes (although curently it doesn't play MIDI :( ) except you can surfe the web on it. And not only that, but it will give you a link to all downloadibld media, (music, videos, etc.) and then it will import it directly into your library.

And so when you go to a book page, you have the entire book for download, just download your chapter, and on you go.
(If you are having trouble finding a file to download, then you should wait for a window binary, .exe file, to be made.)

I checked out songbird once, but was't too thrilled about it. I don't remember why, but it just didn't feel right.

Whell, I did find it paculier that they could tell the stats of who was using it.

But anyway, i just found windows binaries on the page, it's just on the right hand collum, not the top.
