Hey there here is baca, epy's lovely sister. Built using the awesome textual project.

Epub Reader that allows syncing reading progress?
However, if you don't need all the bells and whistles of Foliate and Koreader, and you are willing to carry out some trials and errors, consider exploring other simpler options like epr/epy, in Linux you can use any terminal of your choice, whereas in Android probably you'll be better off using Termux (a simple pip install epr-reader should do).

Burgr – Books in Your Terminal
Sure, i use epy[1] and every month i d/l my books from amazon that i have bought, dedrm[2] through calibre and save the epubs to a folder. Its not a particularly arduous task.
When i want to read i have an alias setup along the lines of:
epy "$(fzf)"
its a nice interface ;-)
Now i don't often read full books in the terminal, BUT i do like being able to reference bits that i remember at a VERY quick speed. I recently was talking to somoene about biases we bring to statistics and could remember reading a great anecdote about it, using rga[3] i was able to bring up the passage VERY quickly in the terminal
Like most great cli tools, its about the workflow

Humble Bundle - O’Reilly Book Bundle - Is here again. A great collection.
I used to dislike ebooks until I started using epy. Reading on the command line made it more enjoyable to read some technical books, especially since it can vertically split alongside vim or a console.

Awesome CLI & TUI Applications Directory site
In the book section, I would recommend adding epy by the same author as epr. It’s an updated version with more features

Are there any free text-to-speech programs advanced enough to be able to be used as a fanfic audiobook generator?
From desktop open source TTS systems, I found mimic closest to being useful, and my preferred EPub reader (epy) can use it.

epub-reader?
Here is cli one, worth a try: https://github.com/wustho/epy

List of essential software I have been using. Most of these are commandline with few GUIs.
I would substitute dateutils for 17 and wordgrinder for 3 instead of pdd and abiword. Also, p7zip instead of 20, zip and unzip. For calendar (18), I like gcal which could also be used as 29, reminder. For a nice TUI ebook reader, I like epy.

What reader do you use to read ?
epy or Foliate on desktop. Really there are so many ways to read EPubs!

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
> Editing multiline inputs is awful.
Outside of "line at a time" i/o (a rarely used mode where an entire line is edited locally and then sent to the host), most of what users see is as interactive is controlled by the program you are interacting with. The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told. BTW, line at a time mode isn't used that much. The only thing I use that uses line at a time mode is telenet in LINEMODE.
> Navigating history is so-so
Yes, that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own history and may implement it completely differently than say, bash or zsh.
> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?
We do have a modern terminal: the web browser... and it's pretty nice.
There have been a ton of tries at more modern terminals, but ultimately, they end up really being limited by the software running in the terminal session. In the 90s we had a ton of commercial terminal emulators that would allow you to create full guis, complete with dialogs and forms. In the 00's there were a few tries at terminals that would allow html output and embedding of html forms for input (can't remember the names of them). I suppose there's also the whole X11 thing... which is so good enough that it's really hard to kill.
Let's get back to character mode:
A lot of interactive terminal software is built using different libraries - so sometimes you get a terminal gui based on ncurses, terminal.gui, or something else... here's a list: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis#libraries. Most of these libraries try to use most of the features in your terminal emulator, but often, just use stuff that is in everything.
For command line programs (i.e. just type a command), a lot of the experience is dictated by the parser used by the tool and whatever the underlying operating system has for passing arguments. Some shells and terminal emulators (like iTerm2 on mac) try to smooth this out, but again, there's a lot of variety in command line parsers.
Probably the biggest modern improvement in the shell world was gettext and various command-line completion libraries which allows command parameter completion if the developer supports it or uses a parser that supports completion. But none of this is the terminal itself doing the work.

DIY nas,suggestions for how to have an OLED screen like qnap showing space available, current IP,etc
Haven't done much in grafana but probably use that to constantly output to a small display. Depending on if you want to install a display server... Seems like there are lots of options, maybe grafterm is what you're looking for: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?
Here's a good list

What's the most beautifully designed TUI-app you've used?
Have a browse at the awesome-tui list and in the reddit search bar: this question is asked quite often and there are already plenty of answers :)

[Possibly OT] Is there a list of command-line versions of any Unix/Linux GUI applications?
https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps and https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis? Though it doesn't mention a specific GUI apps (eg, Lynx is under either Web Browser or Web on those lists), and it's just lists, no actual comparison or review etc. I usually found AlternativeTo to be somewhat decent start to see what features and alternatives I can expect across platform.

arrows in C
For instance, for terminal input you may want to have a look at https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis, where you will find many terminal user interface libraries (and other examples). I would suggest imtui and fxtui from the libraries section. You may also want to use classic ncurses, as others have suggested.
What are some alternatives?
epr - CLI Epub Reader
notcurses - blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses.
fichub.net - web frontend for generating ebooks from fanfic
TerminusBrowser - CLI Reddit, Hacker News, 4chan, and lainchan browser
FanFicFare - FanFicFare is a tool for making eBooks from stories on fanfiction and other web sites.
imtui - ImTui: Immediate Mode Text-based User Interface C++ Library

spectre.console - A .NET library that makes it easier to create beautiful console applications.
wordgrinder - A word processor which gets the hell out of your way and lets you get some work done.
