> For EPUB, I don’t think. I’ve never used EPUB. I downloaded it now, and when I tried to open it, the SO didn’t recognize a program to do it. Then I managed to open the file with Okular. But it was ugly, without formatting applied. I don’t know if it is an EPUB feature or an Okular issue.

Okular (with all due respect to it, Evince is in the similar boat) is an excellent PDF reader, but not so great EPUB one. There is a whole lot of great EPUB readers ([EPUB - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Reading_software), but that’s just very brief overview, there are many more) starting with the simplest one like the terminal [epy](https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/epy) (I have just made extensive improvements to it), through various browser addons (e.g., [EPUBReader](https://www.epubread.com/en/)) to stand-alone apps.
