Introduction

Today I wanted to share with you about the program Foliate, a GTK Ebook reader with interesting features. First, there aren't many epub readers available on OpenBSD (and also on Linux).

Foliate project website

How to install

On OpenBSD, a simple "pkg_add foliate" and you are done.

Features

Foliate supports multiple features such as:

bookmarks

table of content

annotations in the document (including import / export to share and save your annotations)

font and rendering: you can choose font, margins, spacing

color scheme: Foliate comes with a dozen of color scheme and can be customized

library management: all your books available in one place with the % of reading of each

Port of the week

Because it's easy to use, its feature and that it works very well compared to alternatives this port is nominated for the port of the week!
