    I personally use Zathura, it’s minimalistic and uses VIM bindings.

    But if you want something feature-dense, with a way of organising your library, eReader integration, file converting and more, Calibre is pretty amazing (and the actual reader part of Calibre is quite nice to use in my opinion).

      Huh ok, I’ll have to give zathura a peek. Sounds interesting

      Yeah I love calibre. I use it to manage my main library on my server, in addition to calibre-web for managing my front end. It’s really good at managing a ton of ebooks

        If you need a tool to remove and rearrange PDF pages, maybe give PDF Arranger a try? https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger

        Did you add the pdf to your Calibre library and open it or did you open it from somewhere else?

            Maybe try opening Calibre proper and adding the pdf to your library first? It should work the way you’re doing it, not sure why it’s hanging like that - unless there’s a problem with your Library location?
