Joseph, By a "shortcut" to zip things, I assume you mean that you want to see the function incorporated into KeySoft. I agree - although I don't think it is honestly a huge priority, I do think it would be a nice touch.
"Plugins" aren't going to happen until an SDK is released, so I'm not sure to what you're referring and how it relates to the BookShare support that was added - and honestly, guys, how often do we see .rar, .tar.gz or other sorts of archives in a notetaking environment? - but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to any improvements that could be made where archives are concerned.
