The fact that I have to have a full webkit process and actual JS running just to view an epub is really infuriating.
Can't anything just be a ruddy DOCUMENT format anymore?!?
@RL_Dane
I don't think calibre's ebook-viewer needs that. There are other readers too. Haven't found a good one yet to fit a tiling wm, though. (ie one with vim keybindings)
Also, epubs are really just .zip archives full of HTML in disguise; you can harness that!
Just figured out that zathura can open epubs!! No webkit!! No JS!!
HUZZZZAH! Zathura to the rescue!!!

@RL_Dane @benjaminhollon Oh so EPUBs don't require JS? I thought that was what you were saying.
@golemwire @RL_Dane
They shouldn't require JS to view, since they're plain HTML and (sometimes) CSS.
