## What it is
Bookokrat is a terminal-based book reader written in Rust that renders EPUB, PDF, and DJVU files with images, tables, and MathML support. It offers a Vim-style TUI workflow with split library/reader layout, annotations, bookmarks, full-text search, and SyncTeX navigation.

## Use cases
- read epub books in the terminal
- view pdf files from the command line with vim keybindings
- read djvu documents in a tui
- annotate books and export notes to markdown
- navigate latex pdf to source with synctex
- manage a personal ebook library in the terminal

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want a fast keyboard-first reader
- you need one tool for EPUB, PDF, and DJVU formats
- you want Vim-style navigation, bookmarks, and annotation export
- you use a graphics-capable terminal like Kitty or Ghostty and want inline page rendering

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical reader with rich GUI features
- you are on Windows PowerShell where PDF/DJVU support may not work
- your terminal lacks graphics protocol support and you mainly read PDFs/DJVU
