Emacs screen reader - novel mode
I'm using Xah's novel function for a couple of weeks and found myself enhancing it time and again. Today - yet another day on my way south using the train - I took the opportunity and made a separate mode of the stuff. The result is novel-mode and I'm quite satisfied with it so far.
Novel mode is a minor mode. It makes the current buffer quasi read-only, disabled all distractions (like widgets, mode-line etc), enlarges the font size, line spacing, adds a margin left and right and adds an one key key-map which makes it possible to make dynamic adjustments. There's a GIF demo on the github page. Here are some screenshots:
Bare bones emacs before novel mode is active:

After pressing [right] a couple of times: margins increased
