@DaleDe: I know about Sigil and Calibre. How could anyone that comes to this site not know about it?

The point of the post is that there is a need for a simple, dedicated reader on linux. Sigil is an epub editor and Calibre is a library manager and converter. Yes, you can see the books while running them, but you are running a massive amount of unnecessary code -- code that would choke a device like a Smart Q7 or a Nokia MID. And they don't do what is necessary anyhow for a pleasant, easy experience of reading.

I really don't like it when people come into a post (not even mine, any post) on a topic that is looking for help and opinions on doing something specific, and suggest that the OP do something else. It's demonstrative of a complete lack of understanding, or a casual contempt for other people's context.

eg:

Quote:
OP: "I'm looking for some ideas on how to convert my car to electricity."

PINGUIS CAPUT CAPITIS: "You should get a bicycle!"
Did you even read the original post? I discuss Calibre in it, and how its reader has some good value.
