Alexandria: A minimalistic cross-platform eBook reader
mupdf is the mupdf of epub; it supports epub and other formats beyond pdf¹. When I've had really large files I've used mupdf to read them a few times, as it seems to be far better at handling them than other tools.

Pdf reader for less memory consumption
Doesn't exactly fit your requirements, but might as well mention it here: muPDF - the most lightweight PDF viewer that I've ever seen. You don't even have to install it. Mobile version exists by the way.

Zathura can't manage big files
I don't see anything about that on ArchWiki or MuPDF's website. Could you provide details on how it is obsolete and what critical vulnerabilities it has?

Show HN: I am building a new Python library to read/write PDF files
I think you might mean PyMuPDF (https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF), a Python library built on top of the MuPDF C library (https://mupdf.com/).
PyMuPDF and MuPDF are both available under dual open source AGPL and commercial licenses. They have been around for many years and are under continual development.
[Disclaimer, i work for Artifex, who wrote MuPDF and recently acquired PyMuPDF.]

Using a Qt5 library from Qt6
Some more information which might be useful, the library im talking about, is actually a part of the "okular" document viewer (https://github.com/KDE/okular). I want to use its core in my application. (https://github.com/Librum-Reader/Librum/tree/dev/develop)

Advise for parsing books
What I am now thinking about, is to use calibre (https://github.com/KDE/okular). My thought was to try and extract the core of the application (which does all of parsing and creates a QPixmap from it), adapt it to fit my application and use this.

Would the okular core (excluding the GUI) code be able to run on mobile devices as well?
Hey, does anyone know, if the Okular (https://github.com/KDE/okular) core code would run on mobile as well? (ios, android) I m not talking about the gui, just the parsing.

Disable embedded JavaScript support in Okular
It looks like the scope is pretty limited, so maybe not too much of a concern. Thank you for making us aware it uses JavaScript though, that does bother me since I personally think JavaScript and all traces of it should be banned from planet Earth in entirety and perpetuity. Personally, I keep my PDF viewer in KDE set to evince.
What are some alternatives?
