## What it is
epr is a terminal-based EPUB ebook reader written in Python 3.6. It remembers reading state per file, supports EPUB3, and offers vim-like keybindings in the terminal.

## Use cases
- read epub books in the terminal
- resume reading an ebook from where I left off
- read epub3 files from the command line
- open ebooks with vim-like keybindings
- search text inside an epub from the terminal

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight terminal epub reader with per-file reading state
- you prefer vim-style navigation and keyboard-driven reading
- you need a cross-platform CLI reader installable via pip, brew, or choco

## When to avoid
- you need hyperlinks, RTL text, or non-latin alphabets
- you want audio, bookmarks, or table of contents - use the epy fork instead
- you need a graphical ebook reader
