Okular is great, but so is Zathura if you like Vim bindings and Sumatra if you are on Windows. qpdfview is also good if you want something kinda like Okular but with far less bloat. Now for dedicated ebooks (epub, mobi and such) I think Calibre, FBReader and Foliate are the best options.

which is kinda funny since, at least on my machine, it uses the same amount of RAM and CPU time as Okular.
It's an important format for manga.
I've tried a dozen different readers and none properly implement it so that the pages that are supposed to go right go on the right and the pages that are supposed to go left are on the left and there's no space between them.
Thorium is all you need, a simple reader that looks good and only lets you store Epubs and read them, nothing else. Fuck that calibre ugly bloated nonsense.
calibre
calibre, unfortunately
sumatrapdf
Foliate or Koodo. Bookworm isn't bad either.
>Koodo
koodo is fucking garbage, laggy piece of shit. foliate is nice but no windows support.
Works on my machine, but then I'm not a wintoddler.
Adobe Digital Reader
Calibre is the best but insanely slow
Use sumatra or mupdf and only switch to calibre for the few files that will require you to
calibre sucks so bad I wrote an ereader for the browser. epubs are zipped html + css after all. reading that shit on the desktop is kinda nonsense.
>epubs are zipped html + css after all
wtf. So it turns out the best epub reader is fucking 7zip
Wow, I didn't realize this. Thanks for teh info.

I'm currently using a convoluted solution of moon+reader on my phone viewed on my pc through scrcpy.
zathura
zathura Is alright
You listed it, dumbass.
I use premium version of Readera, I enjoy it and it's pretty fast.
>premium
cuck
Librera Reader + waydroid
Use Atril!
Zathura
Okular
Sumatrapdf
FBReader. they're all kind of shit though just like the epub format in general
dired + eww
isn't nov.el what you use if you are going to open epub in emacs?
Foliate as a GUI desktop reader, otherwise I'd try Okular or Zathura.
adobe digital editions
calibre. it's slow, has a clunky, unintuitive UI, it's bloated, has awful default settings... but for reading epubs it just fucking works
Is there any epub reader on Desktop that can handle fixed layout epubs and doesn't require you to import everything into a separate library?
>fixed layout epubs
lmao

Isn't all manga cbz? Where do you find manga in epub format
you convert them using calibre. I never seen manga or comic books in epub format.
Here's an example
https://litter.catbox.moe/7g6hrd.epub
All commercial manga is released in epub format. Never seen any company use cbz.
pajeet-bre
Why are fucking epub readers in the year of our lord in 2k23 still so fucking horrible and terrible. How do we fix this problem?

SumatraPDF.
sounds like pajeet-ware too
SumatraPDF
Tried calibre, horrible horrible experience
Tried Sumatra, never needed anything else since then

sumatra for winblows
okular for linux
