Version 1.1 by Thanasis Georgiou ([email protected])

pPub is a simple epub reader written in Python using GTK3 and WebKit. It has most features expected from a book reader and some support for ebook-convert. It's licenced under GPLv2.

• Bookmarks use MD5 hashes so filenames are irrelevant.
• Keyboard shortcuts.
• Table of contents support.
• Night mode and custom user CSS support.
• Javascript toggle.
• Basic support for ebook-convert.
• Support for files that don't pass epubcheck.
• Lightweight.

Here is a screenshot.

• For Archlinux: Install ppub from AUR.

• For Salix: slapt-src -i ppub (Probably not working anymore, if anyone can confirm notify me)

• For other Linux distros and BSDs:

  make install

This command will install ppub under "/usr" prefix and configure it to invoke python 2.x via "/usr/bin/python2" command. To alter this behavior set PREFIX and PYTHON environment variables, eg.:

PREFIX=/usr/local PYTHON=`which python2.7` make install

Also note, icons and desktop file are installed by default. If you want to install only the program itself, invoke make with "install-bin" target instead of "install".

Most features can be configured from inside the application with these exceptions:

• cachedir = Path to cache, default is /tmp/ppub-cache-username. If you change this, keep the trailing '/'.
• usercss = Path to custom CSS folder. Each file in that folder will appear as a separate menu entry. If invalid or 'None', custom CSS is disabled. Config is saved at ~/.ppub.conf. Bookmarks are stored inside the same file.

If you find a book that does not work, please extract it (like a zip file) and attach any .opf or .ncx it has inside to your bug report. These will help me resolve the problem. Also feel free to email me requests.
