*NIX: Readers for epub
ewemoa:
So it looks like Calibre comes with a binary named ebook-viewer and this can be used on its own.
Didn't find a man page, but passing it --help yielded roughly:
Usage: ebook-viewer [options] file
View an ebook.
Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-viewer that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--raise-window If specified, viewer window will try to come to the
front when started.
-f, --full-screen, --fullscreen
If specified, viewer window will try to open full
screen when started.
--debug-javascript Print javascript alert and console messages to the
console
--open-at=OPEN_AT The position at which to open the specified book. The
position is a location as displayed in the top left
corner of the viewer.

Worked fine on the file I tested -- thanks 40hz!

Also tried Lucidor -- it was fairly nice (supported table of contents, annotations, source code looked ok, etc.), but I failed to figure out how to navigate between pages using keyboard shortcuts...
ewemoa:
Tested EPUBReader as well -- seemed ok. Not too psyched about using a web broiwser based reader -- not quite sure why that is.

EPUBReader is my reader of choice on PC, for both Windows and *nix, which isn't saying much, since I can't read certain types of books on the desktop, and most books in epub format fall into that category best read while lying on my sofa.
