I want to read (well, 'use', it's a programming manual) that's in ePub format. There seems to be no default, or even available, ePub reader in Ubuntu. There are dozens of programs for creating ePub format but nothing for simply reading it.
Am I missing something obvious somewhere?

Calibre? FBReader?
Are they available in Synaptic?

Calibre is available, I actually use it on my laptop, but it is more of a 'manager' than just a reader and it's overkill for what I want to do. However if there's nothing else I'll go with it.
Ah, FBReader, that sounds more like it and it is in the Ubuntu repositories. It just wasn't found when I searched for ePub.
Thank you!
