I've given up on reading epubs on my computer. All epub readers are crap: inappropiate fonts, weird spacing, no sheet margins (like the ones pdf readers have), etc.

PDFs, on the other hand, look nice 95% of the time, unless someone uses calibre to convert an epub to pdf.

I felt like that too until I found that atril [1] and calibre ebook-viewer [2] work very well with epub.

What an excellent little tool! Thanks for suggesting this.

I've settled for an epub reader (after testing many others) with which I'm not entirely happy: https://icecreamapps.com/Ebook-Reader/

Thorium Reader looks very promising.
