E-Book reader for ubuntu

Ebook Reader for Ubuntu

Sturm reader is an ebook reader for Ubuntu. It's built on the the new Ubuntu Toolkit, so it works best on touch devices. It behaves resonably on the desktop, as well. It features full support for Epub files and preliminary support for CBZ and PDF files.

It's a fork of Beru from Rschroll (http://rschroll.github.io/beru), thanks!

Building

To build for the system you are working on, do

$ mkdir <build directory>
$ cd <build directory>
$ cmake <path to source>
$ make

To build the click for an Ubuntu Touch device and create a .click package, you can just use clickable

$ clickable
# Or to build the plus version:
$ CLICKABLE_BUILD_ARGS="-DPLUS_VERSION=on" clickable

Running

Launch Sturm Reader with the shell script sturmreader.

Sturm Reader keeps a library of epub files. On every start, a specified folder is searched and all epubs in it are included in the library. You may also pass a epub file as an argument. This will open the file and add it to your library.

The Library is stored in a local database. While I won't be cavalier about changing the database format, it may happen. If you're getting database errors after upgrading, delete the database and reload your files. The database is one of the ones in ~/.local/share/sturmreader.emanuelesorce/Databases; read the .ini files to find the one with Name=BeruLocalBooks.
