Yes, there are at least two of 'em.  Firefox has an ereader plugin which is 
nice, but you cant beat Calibre which is a library manager and viewer!  You 
can find it here:

http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux.

Using the command line provided there is a snap.  I've been using Calibre for 
almost a year and it has some real neat features.  Before you install it, make 
a directory under your user name, I have one called /home/richard/Calibre 
Library and one /home/richard/Ebooks. All my downloads go into the Ebooks dir, 
and when Calibre adds a book to the library it goes into the Calibre Library.  

The nice part is whenever I download an ebook, it goes automatically into the 
Ebook dir and magically appears in the Calibre Library. The user guide will 
answer most of your questions.

One real nice feature of Calibre is the abiltiy to email your favorite books 
to your friends.  

If you need, I have a directory filled with book sources.  

Enjoy,
Richard
