What eBook readers are available? [duplicate]

Can anyone suggest a nice eBook reader in Ubuntu?

Preferably something lightweight.

Solution 1:

There is an amazing piece of software called Calibre. I linked an article talking about its features it nice and useful! To install it click the icon: calibre Install calibre

Alternatively you can install Adobe Reader with eBook extension.

Solution 2:

FBReader icon FBReader Install FBReader

Solution 3:

I've not been happy with Calibre due to the translation functions outputting corrupt RTF's as well as the developer's aggressive lack of interest in providing packages. I usually just use OpenOffice to translate stuff to PDF (using Gentium Book Basic) and then use Evince which seems to work fine for me.

Solution 4:

If you use Firefox and have it running most of the time you can read the .epub format e-books from within the browser with this extension http://www.epubread.com/en/
