WHY IS THERE NO GOOD EPUB READER FOR LOONCIKS
Also thought to unironically use emacs as a reader but apparently it relies on a package which is being fucky to install on melpa

@meeper calibre?
if not that, then xreader? xpdf? page from plan9port?
if those don't support epub, does there exist an epub2pdf or similar?

Haven't used it enough to verify
But you can set the epubs to open straight from the reader which avoids the library I think

@scathach yeah nov is being fucky to install rn (some melpa repo issue)
It didn't support external fonts and the like before so I wanted to refrain before but I want to try it now

I use bookworm for GUI and epy for TUI experience. Both are hacky, could have less dependencies and start falling apart if you run into bugs in underlying libraries. I've found a known-good set that works on my machines and with my use cases and never touched them since 😅

😂🤣😂
Yeah, this is exactly what I'm talking about — not surprised in the slightest!
Try this patch, I think it's this particular bug. Books that got imported incorrectly would remain broken though. You have to clean up the library, remove incorrectly imported books and import them again with patched version — then it works.

Understandable!
The only reason why I started looking for a fix is that I knew it worked for me at some point, then after an update I noticed that I could no longer import new books, while already imported ones kept working. After I cleared the library and started from a clean slate I realised that it's not new books that were corrupt, but that import is completely broken — most likely interfaces of underlying libraries changed or… IDK, I'm not even sure how Vala works 🤣
