Anybody know of an ebook reader that actually works? (sh.itjust.works)

I can't find one. I've tried about a dozen across Linux and Android, not a single one is even remotely usable. It may be that epub is a write-only format?

PEBKAC or ID ten T user error, IMO.

If all software is "bad", it's probably the eBook files themselves. Calibre will work if the file is good.

The closest I can find is "Readest." That renders the books as close as I can find, so the books aren't "corrupt." Badly authored? Likely, but the data is intact. Main problem with "Readest" is it's made for Gnome so it's UI is insipid. No joy at all on mobile. I think I need to print these things to PDF?
