[IAEP] Note-taking

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Read activity can't add these types of comments, just can add notebooks for
pages, and that comments cam have text associated.
Read activity can display PDF, ePUb and text files. In the text files can
highlight text.
Would be possible modify Read to add the highlight to ePub files,
for PDF would be a little more difficult. (evince, the piece of software we
use to display PDF
is adding that feature right now, but we use a older version of the library)
I am available to work (on contract) in these features if you are
interested.
