Koodo Reader is an open source e-book reader application for your Linux. Simply put, this is the all-in-one tool you need to read e-books on your Linux system.
Koodo fills in the limitations of other e-readers with a sleek look and a smooth user experience. While there are many e-book reader apps available for Linux (such as Foliate and Caliber), Koodo stands out for its unique features and functions. It is exceptionally lightweight and comfortable.
Benefits of Koodo eBook Reader on Linux
Koodo is an open source e-book reader with unique features and functions that can take your online reading experience to another world.
The interface of this application is quite simple and easy to use. There are five main sections on the left side (Books, Favorites, Notes, Highlights, and the Trash tab).
In addition, Koodo makes it easy to import new books and back them up. The disadvantage of import is that you cannot import books by folder.
Instead, you need to select several separate files to import. And it only takes a few clicks in the top right corner of the app.
Easy and convenient user interface
As we said, Koodo is a lightweight app that provides a great user experience. When reading any book, you can highlight text in different colors, you can take notes, convert text to speech, and also search the Internet.
In addition, dark mode is also available in this e-book reader app for Linux. Switching between dark and light modes is very easy with Koodo. Actually, the list goes on!
Changing the font and size, adjusting the letter spacing, background color, brightness and many other features make the user experience better than ever.
Best Customization
The Koodo e-reader provides many customization options. With one click, you can enable and disable all customization options, as shown in the attached image below. Plus, you’ll get five color schemes to change the app’s color palette.
Formats Supported by Koodo
Google is the default search engine in the Koodo reader app, along with other established privacy search engines. You can switch the search with the toggle. But it would be great if the developers added the ability to customize a custom search engine.
And if we talk about the format, then Koodo supports most of it. It not only supports popular e-book formats such as PDF, Epub and Mobi, but also CBT, BR and CBZ. Docx, FictionBooks (.fb2), Rich Text Format (RTF), and Markdown.
Koodo installation process on different Linux distributions
The installation process for Koodo is very simple. But the good news is that you can test it online before installing it on your Linux system. A free online version of Koodo is available. It will open in a web browser and you can test all the features. Because this data is stored locally in the web browser, when you use it online, clearing the cache will remove all data (such as highlights, notes, etc.).
Did you like the online version? If yes, you can now download and install it on your Linux desktop or laptop. This application supports various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Debian, OpenSUSE and Fedora. Along with the deb package, it is also available in Snap Package and AppImage. So choose the installer you prefer below, install and read the e-book on your Linux system.

wget -O ~/Downloads/Koodo-Reader-1.3.9.snap
Now run the command below to install the Snap package. Also, be sure to use the -dangerous flag on the command line when installing.
