Im looking for something that would be a good ebook reader from the command line? Anyone know of a good one?

i mean... less?

the main thing you'd want out of a good e-reader is font customization. which you can't do on an application basis in the terminal.

On the top of my head: bookmarks, highlights and notes, vocabulary builder… (I’ve been looking for one too some time ago)

less actually has most of that, weirdly.

Well, – you know – less is more.

Technically correct since the less command was an improvement on the more command.

Heh, that was part of the joke I was aiming for; I liked that it worked on both levels.
