Re: Foliate – A simple and modern GTK eBook viewer
#2I'm using Linux and trying to find a e-reader recently. Here is what I tested on Arch:
Calibre: Failed to open
Okular: Ugly, cannot modify margin
bookworm: No two-page view, only scrolling-mode, and scrolling-mode cannot get the reading progress
zathura: too simplify resulting in not know how to use
lector: cannot recognize epub......
Buka: cannot open the book. (I don't get the logic flow, create a list first, then import the book, then crash)
Until I found Foliate, it support two-page view w/ progress bar, it support epub will in different language (I test en_US and zh_TW), fast lookup (gtrans, Wiktionary, Wikipedia), good UI, ...etc

Fbreader is nice, I've only used Calibre for converting ebooks not sure you can read in it.

I liked FBReader until I realized it wasn't displaying the blank lines used by the book series I was reading to separate sections in a chapter. Undoubtably the ebooks' CSS was bad, but other readers, like my Sony e-ink device, displayed them OK.

Perhaps this says more about Arch than it does Calibre.

I've never personally used it for epub, but apparently mupdf works with epub files. It's my go-to PDF viewer at least. Just be sure to read the man pages as most operations are keyboard hotkeys.
