The current install manager is installing in the background in one
thread. This is all done at the end after modules to install are
selected. The progress is shown as it installs.

implementing them. I think we should agree on them before implementation.

Does "continuous reading per chapter" mean that multiple chapters are
loaded at once? Would the entire book be loaded? I think this is
preferred as long as it is not a performance problem. I do worry about
the performance?

This concerns me. I know how the current desktop version works and the
QML WebView won't work this way. Javascript can be loaded and ran in the
WebView, but I don't know how to communicate back to the c++ code. I am
continuing to look for this answer.
