What's wrong with it?

>>106472883bloatlooking for something more lightweight
>>106472913it is lightweight. Stop being pretentious.
>>106472913just use a pdf reader directly
>>106472879you can view local files with a web browser. it's bloat, but you already have it. no *additional* bloat.
>>106472937>>106472998want something to read epubsalso the ui is hideous and you're out of your mind if you defend it
it's a rule of software that anything with the word "libre" in the name is a sack of bloated, unmaintained hobbyist project tier shit
>>106473027I'm out of my mind then. Absolutely love the UI - and calibre is one of maybe 4 things I actually use a UI for.
>>106473052
>>106473027>want something to read epubsI use Zathura.Calibre is huge overkill for just reading epubs, as you have noted.The only halfway useful feature it has is acting as a runner for DRM removal tools, and that's just other people's code as a plugin.
>>106472879Here's me spoonfeeding youhttps://alternativeto.net/software/calibre/

>>106473052lmao libre for me has always been a bunch of basement dwelling loner fucks who have a chip on their shoulder
>>106473052>Anything with the word "libre" in the name is a sack of bloated, unmaintained hobbyist project tier shitSadly this statement is true. I tried to find a counter-example for this but I failed.
>>106472879Use AI to make a clone. Ask for feature it has.
>>106475348Got to give props here. Not a zoomer jeet, did a good job.
>>106472879If you have an eReader with 1000s of books there's simply nothing else out there that comes close.

>>106472879paper books.There is even this place that stores them for free for you. its called a library.
>>106472879I just read epubs on my phone (iphone default books app) bc all the PC readers suck so badThere is absolutely no logical reason why browsers should support PDF and not EPUB when EPUBs are LITERALLY FUCKING HTMLTHEYRE JUST HTML WHY CANT MY BROWSER OPEN IT
>>106472879use foliate?
>>106472879I hate this thing. You install it, and it makes itself the default for every text format under the yellow sun. Why the fuck does that jeet think I want to open my docx files with Calibre?>>106477485I switched to this recently. It's great.
>>106473027I'm pretty sure there are browser extensions that let you read epub files since - you know - they are just zipped html files.>more lightweightnotepad

>>106472883Been a while since I used this piecevof shit software but>Makes a duplicate copy of every book in my library>Unrepentantly uses 100% of processing power just to convert a few pdfs to ebooks interfering with other tasks>Slow and clunky as shit interface>Light mode
>>106472879This POS is a hellish nightmare. It does work... But Jesus. Its like.. I knew it was written by an Indian before I even looked at who wrote this crazy shit. It literally made me quit reading ebooks books. No shit. I went back to paper.
>>106472879I run it as a systemd service and connect remotely. I can download the book and use whatever viewer. I like florence.
>>106479975meant foliate not florence.
>>106472879>open source>visible highlights and note taking>cross platform syncing with notes and highlightsis this too much to ask?
>>106472879What, to books?

None of the suggested alternatives ITT can reliably de-DRM ebooks, convert EPUB -> MOBI, and transfer them to a Kindle.
Is there a better epub editor than the one built in?The one built in works, rather well actually, and tools like sigil aren't really any better.I don't need it for the HTML editing so much, that shit I could just use vim for, but the automated things like ToC extraction and format cleanup.
