[orca-list] Forgive the cross posting: Reading Ebooks in Linux

[Mallard <mallard ilgerone net>]

Hello all,

I'm cross-posting this, because I have installed both Sonar and Vinux, 
and I tried to read an epub file using both Fbreader and Firevox 
extension, EpubReader.

The former is totally inaccessible; the latter used to be much more 
usable, but now I don't seem to be able to get out of the Content frame, 
and read teh actual chapters.

Does anyone have any viable suggestions to read ebooks?

I can only think of installing Calibre, and converting books to some 
readable format, like txt, and use Libre Office or something.

If you people have something better to suggest, I'd be very grateful..
I know there was talk on the Orca list about crowdfunding development of 
an ebook reader, for which I'd be more than ready to participate, but I 
don't hink it was ever followed up.

Thanks so much for your help.
Ciao,
Ollie
