Ok, its got its quirks and guess that is why. Surprised this didnt get included as standard app in most Puppies. It is tiny script with no oddball libraries needed, and it works well with options for font, background, etc. Or if you just get pages of run together text.Īmethyst wrote: ↑ Tue 3:55 cli but a forum member attempted an epubviewer application, see here: viewtopic.php?p=26010#p26010 Oh there is some CLI app to extract text from epub. Surfer works but no options for font, etc. Probably a small html viewer or older minimalist browser that would work. Did nice job presenting the text without chopping it up when font size changed. So yea honestly unzip plus Seamonkey might be one of more pleasant ways to go. Honestly Calibre has its uses converting formats and storing libraries of ebooks, but as a actual ebook reader its so-so. There are also old versions of Calibre that werent so monster size. Yea its more designed as a text to voice app, but it can open epub books and it displays text and you can set font and size of font. And yea unless you have WINE for other reasons that kinda defeats the purpose of looking for minimalist.Īctually if size doesnt matter and you have WINE, then Balabolka isnt bad. It works ok in WINE except tiny text and the ctrl++ to zoom doesnt work. Guessing from win95/98 days when size mattered more. I did find a 1MB one for windows that isnt horrible. Whats weird is that there isnt even a truly nice one for windows. I did run across a couple old ones but they needed some old oddball libraries and such. Just one man band type app that got lost in time when no longer supported. There is probably a nice CLI one out there, linux has been around long time.
