If it is the mainstream of a tablet computer, reading on a computer is very rare. Focus on reading the 16th century book is very difficult, no one want to pop out of the background QQ Chat window. But if you have to open the ebook on your computer, you'll need an ebook reader software. Most publications support e-books in EPUB format (electronic publications). Fortunately, there is never a lack of software for the Epub Reader class on Linux. Here are some of the good epub reading software on Linux.

1. Calibre

Start with the most famous software in the list: Calibre. Calibre is not just a reader, it is also an electronic library. The software supports almost all formats, integrates a reader, manager, a meta-data editor that can download book covers from the Internet, an epub editor, a news reader, and a search engine for downloading ebooks. Fortunately, the interface silk is no less inferior to professional reading software. The only drawback is that if you only want an EPUB reader, the software is still too big.

Sudo-v && wget-nv-o-https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python-c "Import sys; Main=lambda:sys.stderr.write (' Download failed\n '); EXEC (Sys.stdin.read ()); Main () "

2. FBReader

FBReader is also a library management software, but smaller than calibre. The simple interface is divided into two parts: the left side is file management, metadata editing and download new books and other functions; Right is the reading area. If you like brevity, this software is pretty good. I personally like this kind of intuitive tagging of books and classification practices.

3. Cool Reader

I recommend Cool Reader for those who just want to see the content of the Epub book. Following the Linux application culture, Cool Reader is optimized to open only one epub file at a time, using simple shortcuts for reading and navigating. Since the program was developed based on Qt, he also follows the QT style and requires a lot of setup.

4. Okular

In addition to the QT application, if an epub library is installed, the KDE document reader Okular can also open the Epub file. However, if you are not a KDE user, this software is not recommended.

5. Ppub

Ppub is an old project that can be found on GitHub and its last update was two years ago. Still, this software is worth using, Ppub is written in Python, based on GTK3 and WebKit, is a simple and lightweight software. The interface may require some updates, not concise enough, but the interior is very good. The software supports JavaScript. So, who's going to pick up the project?

6. epub

If you just want to quickly and easily view the contents of an epub file and don't care about any graphical interface features, it's a good idea to use command-line mode to open epub. Epub is a reader written in Python that can read the contents of an epub file in a terminal environment. The software can switch between chapters, pages, and no other functions. This is the most concise epub reader.

7. Sigil

This last introduction is actually not an epub reader, it should be a standalone editor. Sigil can extract the contents of an epub file and separate it into other formats: XHTML text, images, CSS, and other content such as audio. The interface is more complex than the basic reader, but the function is quite rich. I like its label system, if you are familiar with the Web page, this software is very good use.

In summary, there are a lot of open-source epub readers, some have only the most basic functions, and some other features are too many. In general, I suggest you choose the most appropriate use. If you have a better epub reader, please let us know in the comments!
