First suggestion: please add a screenshot of the result in the readme :) #21

Hi! :) I'm responding based on your rally cry on FB - a friend of mine forwarded it to me :)

So, the first thing I'd heartily recommend, in order to help make it user-friendly, is screenshots of the result from your e-reader (be it Kindle or any other) by the very top of your readme. Either done with a camera, or with a "screenshot shortcut" on the device, showcasing the ToC (as you did on FB), as well as a page from inside. That will help people who wander here for the first time to have a quick glance/estimation on what it will look like when generated, and thus better understand if that's something they like and if it's worth an investment of time for them.

If you're worried about copyrights, I welcome you to work on songs from https://piwnica.org, those are folk songs so not really copyrighted AFAICT. See for example http://piwnica.org/wiki/Teksty/Na_dunaj_Nastu%c5%9b_rano_po_wod%c4%99 for a simple one, or look around for longer ones and/or some tricky Unicode showcases (e.g. in Ukrainian/Russian/Belarussian etc. ones). And uh; unfortunately the category indexes there don't work now, I need to fix it One Day™ 😅
