epy VS bk

Try Epy CLI Ebook Reader

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

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).

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

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.

In the book section, I would recommend adding epy by the same author as epr. It’s an updated version with more features

From desktop open source TTS systems, I found mimic closest to being useful, and my preferred EPub reader (epy) can use it.

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

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.

epy or Foliate on desktop. Really there are so many ways to read EPubs!
