I quite often open (i.e. view-open, not edit-open) epubs inside emacs (from directory view mode, using "v" to view the file) editor, with nov package installed. This is stated in the file nov.el: ;; nov.el provides a major mode for reading EPUB documents. ;; ;; Features: ;; ;; - Basic navigation (jump to TOC, previous/next chapter) ;; - Remembering and restoring the last read position ;; - Jump to next chapter when scrolling beyond end ;; - Storing and following Org links to EPUB files ;; - Renders EPUB2 (.ncx) and EPUB3 () TOCs ;; - Hyperlinks to internal and external targets ;; - Supports textual and image documents ;; - Info-style history navigation ;; - View source of document files ;; - Metadata display ;; - Image rescaling Also, if you have pandoc installed (I do), you could do something like: pandoc -r epub path-to/The_Exege.epub -w plain | less Pandoc is a multitool for dealing with all kind of borked situations involving my e-ink reader, whose software gets, in my opinion, increasingly fscked. As sign of, probably, developers not eating their own dogfood, but instead, as workday ends, opening their beer and android app and enjoing themselves. Rather than reading a damn book with their own software. So I end up converting each problematic epub into fb2 format, because this gives me the least problems. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home** ** directory.

Re: epub reader
Plain ordinary mupdf can open them too. (And also msoffice xml files in the 1.24 versions; formatting for msoffice is not brilliant, but it's often good enough to quickly read text).

I found 1 book that showed the same error and which resulted in a WebKitWebProcess.core file produced in the books folder. Opening the book in Sigil and letting it fix the html solves that issue. (Incidently, as you mentioned calibre, I see this happening with most books that are converted with calibre)

Re: epub reader
Thanks for reaching out Antoine, appreciated. I know it is not enough but this is what I can I pass you: https://takeyou.to/l/fol1 [a screenshot of Foliate under my XFCE] Unfortunately Foliate doesn't appear to help a lot.

Re: epub reader
AFAIK Zathura ( zathura-pdf-mupdf ) can open EPUBs. Feel free to try that.

epub reader
Hello, I'm here asking for an epub ebook reader port as Foliate (almost under my XFCE) appears broken from a while and Calibre is not exactly a light ebook reader. Thnks! -Dan
