By adding the capability of openning multiple doccuments at once without openning multiple windows and adding a few buttons, Evince would do everything Eog does, thus making Eog useless.

Common GUI for all viewers and
many different backends for rendering files.

GUI like evince.

Backends:
1. *.so libraries.
2. executables with control via pipe or socket.

This problem is solved with this very simple solution. "Fit Height" explains what this zoom level really does, like on the following mockup:

I think a fix to text could be more useful. The program would "remove" the margins, leaving only the text. Sometimes margins are quite big and they take away an important part of the screen.

Evince should be able to read more formats, like ODF (.odt), Office (.doc), and optionally plain text (.txt, .log...) and HTML (.htm, .html).

Since Evince can provide thumbnails for Nautilus, this would also extend the number of thumbnailed files.

Apple has a great feature in its file browser where you hit the spacebar and you can view documents/pdfs etc in fullscreen, but clicking on the file as usual loads it up in its usual application.

See it in action here

It supports plugins so basically anyone can add more supported file formats.

I would love to see something similar in Ubuntu.

Gloobus is a preview application that now supports PDF it would be great if it could also show openoffice documents, words and comic books, just for viewing, they all can easely be developed as plugins but, well, the plugins need to be developed :D

Make the file managers support universal plugins for previewing/reading media files. For example, when you install Evince, a plugin is installed for the file manager to support previewing PDF files. The plugin is used by Nautilus, Dolphin and Thunar or other file managers (such as PCManFM).

The plugins should also have information inside them about
where there work best. For example, the Evince plugin has information in it that it works best in Nautilus, so every file manager chooses the plugin that works better in it for every filetype.

If there is only one plugin for this filetype, it should be used no matter in which file manager it works best.

Also, the plugins are used if there are usable, so the plugin for audio files can be located in the Nautilus package, but use mplayer. And the plugin should be only enabled if mplayer is available.

This way it should be possible to create a plugin for reading office files using the OpenOffice.org framework
without starting the whole program.

Possibly based on the Evince Document viewer + Mozilla Project Gecko engine ?

Use Geeko or GTK for the library interface and use plugins (evince in embeded mode, a text-plain reader, ...)
#1 is a good idea, but evince doesn't support plain text, HTML, or xml based e-books. so evince (and maybe gecko) aren't enough
