From the screenshot, my one big complaint is that it's typeset ragged right instead of flush right (which is, generally, how books and most ebook readers do it), but I suppose that's just a CSS fix, then?
If you scroll down, the README tells you how to make it flush right: https://github.com/wasamasa/nov.el#rendering

F1-m translates to "C-h m", which is the standard Emacs command to show information about the current major-mode. It's not specific to nov.el.
I did not know that. And I have been using Emacs since 1984. I use "M-X apropos".
C-h a - apropos
C-h k - detailed docs on the command run by key sequence
C-h m - docs on current minor modes and major mode
C-h w - what keystrokes will run command
There's a lot more as well.

#36https://github.com/bddean/emacs-ereader is another one. Similar features, the biggest difference is that nov shows a chapter at a time while ereader renders the entire document at once which allows doing isearch over the whole thing. Both of these take advantage of the shr HTML renderer built into Emacs which in turn uses libxml2 to do the heavy lifting.

Books flush them right. eBook readers usually don't and when they do it's horribly typographically, because they don't use a smart algorithm for hyphenation and line splitting.

This is really just a one-liner I put in a shell script to pass things to Pandoc so I could read them like a man page in my terminal.
Love the Emacs lib though. The more emacs I my life the better. :)

From the same people that run sci hub. Please remember that authors need to eat too though. If you have money you should support them by buying their books or they may write fewer of them for you to enjoy.
If they work thru big publishers authors get actually very little from every book purchase. So in practice most of your payments go to feed large majors. I wish more authors would go the path of self publishing so they can maximize their compensation per book sale.
