Hello Trisquel users,

I wonder if you know of a simple lightweight ebook reader (epub format) preferably a command line program. A lightweight gtk program could also work.

Thanks

If you like cli, epy works well for me: https://github.com/wustho/epy

It has some vim keybindings.

Thanks Lloyd and Andy for your recommendations.
I tried MuPDF and it was very good.
I could not try epy since it requires for me to install it through pip. I found out that pip is not included in Trisquel's repo (I assume it's because you could install non-free software with it).

I also tried nov-mode in emacs and it's also a good alternative.

epr (or epy)[1] are single source code file program. If you clone the
repo and put the epr.py file in your PATH variable, you'll be able to
use it without needing to install it with pip. See the "Manually"
section for details.

Now a days I use nov.el package in Emacs to read epub files. But I have
also used epr, and it's quite nice.
