Red face help with FBReader

Hi,

I can't find any answers to my problem on the Internet, so I hope someone here can help me.

I have just started using Ubuntu and I was looking for a good eBooks reader. I thought that FBReader was the good software for me to use...

So I installed it but I can't open any books with it. First, I tried to set my Library path and I am not sure I've done it correctly (I wrote /home/cat/Documents/Books) cat is my username on my Ubuntu and Documents/Books is where I saved my .epub file which I am testing with.

I clicked on the Library icon, but nothing shows up. So I tried the icon for adding manually the books. I located the .epub file, I click on it, it highlights but when I click "Ok" nothing happens...

I tried to open a .pdf file but they don't show in the "add file" window. With the researches I done while looking for a solution for this problem, I could see that FBReader does not read pdf files. So I wonder if I should not change for another software, but I would like to find the right one this time.

So...
1. how to open my .epub books on FBReader?

2. should I use another software?

Thanks to all of you!
