Google Summer of Code project for GNOME.
Books is application for listing, searching and reading eBooks. More information on https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreach/SummerOfCode/2014/Projects/MartaMilakovic_GnomeBooks
Books will be implemented upon the application gnome-documents, and it is going to live in the same git repository. This would be a great solution regarding code duplication, because it would be possible to reuse relevant code blocks from gnome-documents and add extra features related to eBooks.
Using epub.js library for the reading mode.
The idea is to integrate Books with an existing online eBook store.
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd src/ && glib-compile-resources gnome-books.gresource.xml
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/src/.libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ export GI_TYPELIB_PATH=`pwd`/src
Make a folder Books in your $home directory and add all the .epubs you would like to read.
$ gnome-books
