TUI ebook reader textproc/py-epy-reader reads: epub, epub3, fb2, mobi, azw, azw3 and urls in reading only (not navigable) form. Extended epub format kepub must end in the epub suffix. Sometimes, these formats don't always work correctly, as sometimes running them will label them as having an improper structure. epy doesn't read acsm Adobe and pdf files. acsm is a proprietary format which won't work with any open source reader and it uses an extreme measure of drm: I've had a frustrating experience with acsm format in that past, that I've had to use it on a phone app, and the text layout was too small. A benefit of epub ebooks, is that the text aligns to the window, and that text size can be adjusted while aligning, unlike in PDF. Also, epub is an open standard: it was created by International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).
Use
Default key settings: Use arrow keys for line up/down, and page back/forward. Tab or t can be used for the table of contents, press again or esc to close table. s is useful to show/hide % progress. +, - enlarges or shrinks text. Use / to search. Pressing o will open the image on the page in Firefox (would be nicer if it opened with graphics/pho or graphics/feh when using a terminal emulator on a desktop). To change defaults, edit ~/.config/epy/configuration.json.
Literature in image is under CCO: (A General History of the Pirates).
More
Post about other command-line or curses readers. CLI editors can be mentioned.
Maybe TUI internet readers can be in another thread, like: feed readers, email readers, website based readers.
