Hi
I understand that an electronic book cannot be equivalent for a paper book, but still if one intends to read on, then what will be better experience then, if compare:
1. Calibre
2. Kindle
3. Nook
But it doesnt seems that any other option then calibre exists, solidly on linux.
I would like to know your advise for laptop/desktop experience or preference.
Thankyou

Re: How to "Reading Books" comfortably
I use coolreader 3 for epubs myself.
Made some wheezy and stretch repos for it. Jessie builds require a patch for the freetype headers that I have in debian/patches but disabled in this repo.

Seems good in display.
But not maintained by 8 months.
Also it lacks .pdf and .bok, and probably a few others.
If I test it more, I may give more feedback on it.
Thankyou

Re: How to "Reading Books" comfortably
This is a list of additional candidates on my to do list, maybe you'll find one to your liking:
A missing piece is a tablet because I don't like reading ebooks from a desktop screen and currently print them.

i always thought it stands for FrameBufferReader... quite misleading in my mind.None1975 wrote:Hello. On desktop, i use Fbreader.
Re: How to "Reading Books" comfortably
I think epaper is absolutely fantastic for reading. The vendor-locked-in, proprietary softwared, cloud service using commercial readers are total POS's, unfortunately. But if you are at all technically interested, you will be able to control a epaper display with Linux with ease. DIY FTW! It is a shame that they are so expensive...
