Read EPUBs in your web browser!
A lightweight desktop EPUB reader. Its name is short for 'Read in browser'.
Rib is in early development, and not yet fully functional. (But does already work on many EPUBs, at least.)
Tested on Windows and Linux; currently only very limitedly tested on Mac.
Open book.epub in your default web browser with default style settings:
rib book.epub
View help menu for advanced functionality:

Rib has a dependency on xdg-open on Linux. It has no known external dependencies on Windows or Mac.
cargo install --locked rib
cargo-binstall is also supported.
See the releases page for download links. For convenience, you'll likely want to extract the release's executable to somewhere on your PATH.
The source tarball from the latest release can be downloaded here, or (along with older versions' source tarballs) from the releases page. After extracting the source, build via:
cargo build --release
The executable will be built in the target/release subdirectory. For convenience, you'll likely want to move it to somewhere on your PATH.
