Bouncing off a thought from another thread:

What software, aside from FBReader, is available natively on Linux for reading? Not Sigil, and not Calibre -- neither of which is focused on reading. I'd like to find something that I can install on my Q7, and maybe my Nokia 770.

I can't seem to find anything aside from text-readers (ie: plain-text document readers, sometimes focused on Project Gutenberg formatting.) I'm looking for something that can support ePub, fb2, zipped html, xhtml, etc. that has a book-like experience/interface, preferably with CSS and bookmarking support.

Supposedly CoolReader is multi-platform, but I cannot find anything aside from zipped Windows binaries.

And, please, don't suggest Wine. That's basically saying "use Windows."

Thanks,

m a r
