SYNOPSIS

bookokrat [options] file

DESCRIPTION

bookokrat is a terminal-based ebook reader that supports EPUB and PDF formats. It renders book content directly in the terminal with text reflow, providing a distraction-free reading experience without a graphical environment.
The reader supports navigation by chapters, page scrolling, and bookmarking your reading position. It handles text extraction and layout within the constraints of a terminal interface.

CAVEATS

Complex layouts, images, and rich formatting in PDFs may not render well in a text-only environment. Best suited for text-heavy books. EPUB support is generally better than PDF due to the reflowable nature of the format.
