[Bug 241736] Re: support EPUB format
Evince *should* suport epub. Having a handful of apps, clearly labeled, to handle out-of-the-box all of the most popular content formats is one of the best selling points for Ubuntu in my experience. I read the Ubuntu Brainstorm idea turn down - the approver showed very poor judgement. Okular supports epub because it is expected of it. Evince is already years behind Okular.

[Bug 241736] Re: support EPUB format
Fbreader, Sigil or and Calibre can read epub but are not automatically installed (and are not using GTK libraries but I am not sure that it is a problem). And, except for Fbreader that is not really pretty, they are a bit too big to be used as simple readers (it's like using Gimp to view a picture). It will be a good idea to have it as a plugin in Evince as it is a kind of universal reader installed by default. There is also the possibility to use an add-on in a browser but it's not really a convenient solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241736 Title: support EPUB format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/241736/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 241736] Re: support EPUB format
In Kubuntu 9.10, KDE's document viewer, Okular, has ePub support. You should be able to install it in Ubuntu 9.10 with sudo apt-get install okular. Adobe Digital Editions has the best support for CSS in ePubs that I have seen. Okular does not seem to have support for ePub CSS, which doesn't affect readability; it just means that if the ePub creator has used alternative fonts, etc., that styling will be ignored. And Okular is certainly a lot prettier than FBReader. You could also consider using Bookworm, which is an online ePub reader ... http://bookworm.oreilly.com/ ... and works perfectly in Firefox, Chromium and Epiphany. -- support EPUB format https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
