*NIX: Readers for epub

(1/3) > >>

ewemoa:
Any favorites for reading epubs?

FBReader crashed here and didn't get Cool Reader to display a page with a source code sample so well, but Sigil (though primarily an editor) seems to be working better.

I guess there may also be Firefox plugins (e.g. EPUBReader), but haven't used them recently.

I'll either use FBReader (which has yet to crash on me) or Calibre.

Calibre may be a bit of overkill for you since it also incorporates e-book management functions and format converters.

ewemoa:
Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll give Calibre a try.

ewemoa:
Calibre definitely does a better job (at least by default) of displaying the source code sample being tested :up:

I'm not inclined to use the non-viewer features...perhaps I should try to see if I can make use of just the viewer portion.

ewemoa:
I found this thread @mobileread -- looks promising :)
