Thank you for contributing.

We've been having a discussion about how to make Emacs easier to
learn. I think one important way is to cease giving packages cryptic
names, and start giving each mode or package a name whose meaning will
be clear to everyone who sees it.
The name "Nov mode" is not clear -- witness the fact that it wasn't
obvious to me what it meant. One needs to be told its meaning.
What would you think of "E-Reader mode"? "E-Book View mode"?
(I am making a surmise here about what it does -- please forgive
me if I'm mistaken.)
