In this article, we have compiled seven best ebook readers for Linux. These ebook readers are best suited for pdf, epubs and other ebook formats.
## Best eBook readers for Linux
I have provided installation instructions for Ubuntu as I am using Ubuntu right now. If you use [non-Ubuntu Linux distributions][2], you can find most of these eBook applications in the software repositories of your distro.
### 1. Calibre
[Calibre][3] is one of the most popular eBook apps for Linux. To be honest, it's a lot more than just a simple eBook reader. It's a complete eBook solution. You can even [create professional eBooks with Calibre][4].
With a powerful eBook manager and easy to use interface, it features creation and editing of an eBook. Calibre supports a variety of formats and syncing with other ebook readers. It also lets you convert one eBook format to another with ease.
The biggest drawback of Calibre is that it's too heavy on resources and that makes it a difficult choice as a standalone eBook reader.
![Calibre][5]
#### Features

`sudo apt-get install calibre`
### 2. FBReader
![FBReader: eBook reader for Linux][6]
[FBReader][7] is an open source, lightweight, multi-platform ebook reader supporting various formats like ePub, fb2, mobi, rtf, html etc. It includes access to popular network libraries from where you can download ebooks for free or buy one.

* Supports features like commenting on PDF documents, highlighting and drawing different shapes etc.
* These changes are saved separately without modifying the original PDF file.
* Text from an eBook can be extracted to a text file and has an inbuilt text reading service called Jovie.
Note: While checking the app, I did discover that the app doesn't support ePub file format in Ubuntu and its derivatives. The other distribution users can still utilize it's full potential.
#### Installation
Ubuntu users can install it by typing below command in Terminal :
```
sudo apt-get install okular
```
### 4. Lucidor
Lucidor is a handy e-book reader supporting epub file formats and catalogs in OPDS formats. It also features organizing the collection of e-books in local bookcase, searching and downloading from the internet and converting web feeds and web pages into e-books.

[Buka][18] is mostly an ebook manager with a simple and clean user interface. It currently supports PDF formats and is designed to help the user focus more on the content. With all the basic features of pdf reader, Buka lets you navigate through arrow keys, has zoom options and you can view 2 pages side by side.
