Fbreader, Sigil or and Calibre can read epub but are not automatically installed (and are not using GTK libraries but I am not sure that it is a problem). And, except for Fbreader that is not really pretty, they are a bit too big to be used as simple readers (it's like using Gimp to view a picture). It will be a good idea to have it as a plugin in Evince as it is a kind of universal reader installed by default.
There is also the possibility to use an add-on in a browser but it's not really a convenient solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241736 Title: support EPUB format Status in Evince document viewer: Confirmed Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: evince I just got an electronic reader and discovered that the new standard e-book format EPUB can't be read by any program in Ubuntu. It would be a good thing if the default document reader, Evince, could support this type of file. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22282 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/241736/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
