fser (Fucking Simple E-Reader)

fser is an intentionally dumbed-down, offline-only TUI EPUB reader focused on pure reading without bloat.

Why?

Because none of the existing EPUB readers met my standards. Some were Python-based or had Python dependencies, some had too many or too few features.

Installation.

Prerequisites:

• Rust/Cargo installed on your system (preferrably latest possible version)

Through Cargo (recommended)

    cargo install --locked fser

From source

    git clone https://codeberg.org/enmkdev/fser && cd fser && cargo install --path .

Usage.

    fser (path to epub)

More arguments may or may not come in future updates.

Binds.

(vim-like, but not actually vim cuz it doesn't have an insert mode)

• j/k -- Scroll up/down
• d/u -- Scroll up/down but faster
• n/p -- Next/previous page/chapter
• b -- Add/remove bookmark
• B (shift+b) -- Bookmark menu
• m -- Ebook meta page
• q -- Quit fser

Roadmap.

• Separate ebook metadata page
• Bookmarking support
• ???
