I do not develop this anymore and I'm not sure I will. Stop starring me.

Modern GTK Python app to easily read ePub files

Ebook Viewer is currently in early stages of development. It's a re-write of old ebook reader called pPub.

Planned for first public release:

  • ePub opening & display
  • Basic chapter navigation
  • Restoring of reading position
  • Importing from other ebook file formats
  • Chapter jumping
  • Chapter index based navigation
  • Per book bookmarks
  • Switching between light and dark style
  • Text size control
  • eBook font picker

Enormous rendering improvement is on the way too.

Future plans:

  • Native non-DRM mobi support
  • Native txt support
  • Native html support
  • Content searching
  • Pernament highlighting
  • Book metadata display
  • Ability to edit book metadata
