foliate

I have been testing this for 15 minutes. - enforces two page layout. I don't see how to fix it. advice does not fix it: https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/discussions/1166 - can't open all pdf that other viewers can. - zoom does not work, settings do nothing. Result of the 'style' is smudge view you can't fix.

I use Foliate (https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate), which is mentioned as one of the inspirations for this project.

Yes. From their repo README: https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate Supported formats: - EPUB (.epub, .epub3) - Kindle (.azw, .azw3) and Mobipocket (.mobi) - FictionBook (.fb2, .fb2.zip) - Comic book archive (.cbr, .cbz, .cbt, .cb7) - Plain text (.txt)

If you're looking for an e-book reader in Linux, Foliate (https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/) is the best I've seen. I used to be a fan of Calibre E-book reader and had my own custom CSS for theming, but the redesigned e-book reader (I think it was Calibre 4.0) completely broke my setup. I don't know how it is these days, but it was extremely buggy and lagging when I tried some months ago. Even Bookworm (https://github.com/babluboy/bookworm) is a far better alternative than Calibre E-book reader.

I take my audible files, split them by chapter, and then manually jump to that chapter after checking in my audiobook player. Even syncing progress b/w ebook readers is a pain point for me right now[1], but I'd love to see solutions for this. [1]: https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/issues/584

> I use SumatraPDF on linux with wine. I just discovered Foliate[0,1], which is a very small reader (252kb, deb) for .epub, .mobi, .azw, and .azw3 files. It's based Epub.js[2]. I was looking for a standalone epub reader (wanted to avoid the document management stuff) and stumbled across this gem. It's performed very well on the epubs I've tossed at it.

I basically use Calibre ebook viewer for its configurability and customization. If you want a good ebook reader, give Foliate (https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate) a try. That and Bookworm (https://github.com/babluboy/bookworm) are the best standalone ebook readers I've seen in Linux.

It's worth mentioning in this context that the thing making Foliate difficult to build and run on older platforms is the fact that it's written in modern Javascript (and therefore needs a modern version of gjs): https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/issues/45

Hi, author of Foliate here. It sounds like you're using something like Ubuntu 16.04 or similar? Foliate currently requires GJS >= 1.52 and Meson >= 0.40. There's an open issue here on supporting older systems: https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/issues/45
