   Looks like my #epub reader of choice for #Android (Libera Reader) has a known #security vulnerability and F-Droid recommended uninstalling it. Can anynoe recommend a good replacement #FOSS epub/pdf reader?

     @silverwizard Some of my epubs cone from my local peg-legged friend, so something malicious being injected is not out of the realm of possibility.
     
     I spent a long time finding a FOSS ereader that was usable. It was a while ago, so I don't exactly remember the specific criticisms of the others I'd tried.
     
     I remember there was one where the right ~5% of the page would render off-screen.
     
     I just want something I can read with and will remember my page on each book.

     @me this is because the fdroid auto build tool chain is outdated but it's gonna be fixed soon as far as I know

     @silverwizard I'm not sure how that constitutes a "security vulnerability" tbh. More of a potential nuisance than anything else.

     @me Would you be able to share the details about it? I like Libera Reader and haven't headed about the bug (yet)
