You're going to have a web browser installed, right? .epub files are just zips with HTML/images/CSS inside. Just find the HTML file with named "toc" and go from there.
I.e. install a Browser extension that does this
As far as I know, MuPDF
is not that heavy, and can view both PDFs and EPUBs (and others).
I personally use zathura
, which is a very, very light weight document viewer, has vi
style key bindings, and has plugins for viewing PDF, EPUB, CB, and others. Works pretty well in a keyboard centric desktop environment (I use Hyprland
).
zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).
+1 for Zathura.
Assuming you have a Firefox derived browser installed, you could just add an EPUB extension to the browser.
MuPDF https://mupdf.com/ It does PDF and Epub and is pretty light.
epy https://github.com/wustho/epy is a cli Epub reader
I didn't realize MuPDF did both! That might be what I need. Thank you.
Also, are you banned? I can only see your post in my inbox, but not on the thread.
if he was banned you couldn't see him anywhere, probably federation being funcky, or your app not updating both at the same time
Just checked the modlog. I don't appear to be banned. Funky Federation stuff.
I have no idea how I would be banned, I'm not super active. How can I find out if I've been banned?
puppy is really an underappreciated distro.
Take Emacs. Then you have everything. 😎
There's a couple of command lines e-reader apps you may want to try.
less 😎
Epy reader is command line, so not very discoverable, but I freaking love it
One option is to convert to txt for any text-only epubs that you have. There are a ton of lightweight options if you're willing to use format-shifted copies on your computer.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
