E-books in ICQ / Jabber, is it possible?

Now, even when there are many different readers and tons of programs for reading electronic books on mobile devices, not everyone has the opportunity to buy / install it all.

So it was decided to do what I want to tell you.

How did it all start?

I have long since started asking users to add such a function to the bot, but my hands did not reach, and I was scared of large volumes. But about two weeks ago I firmly decided that I would do it :)

MAN AND WOMAN IN THE COUNTRY OF LAKES
... Children under sixteen years are not recommended. Ancient manuscript 1
Everyone was busy with his business.
Replaceable dispatcher of the Hercules galactic base Tikhon Amelinchuk, better known in the surrounding star systems under the nickname Tiksi - which did not mean at all that he had something to do with the bay of the same name in the Laptev Sea, in the harsh surroundings of which he had never been and never even suspected about the existence of such, as well as the population of the said bay about the existence of the interchangeable dispatcher Amelinchuk ... and so, Tiksi Amelinchuk led his single-seat ship of the Marabou class to one of the neighboring bases, whose name was hidden from the descendants. For the natural reason that a date was promised to him there, and Tiksi never revealed details of this kind. At the same time he sang as he could a song that had been imposed on his head, from which he knew neither the beginning nor the end, and could surely reproduce only a part of the verse and the refrain. Musical hearing Tiksi was not burdened, from which he did not suffer. To be completely fair, the song Tiks mentioned just yelled loudly. His only listener on board the spacecraft was himself, and the listener was quite grateful. 2
