Arianna

Arianna is a free and open-source eBook reader and library management app that’s made for the KDE desktop environment. But don’t worry if you’re using another Linux distribution; as long as you have flatpak/Flathub support, it’ll work just fine!

Looks and Feel

Arianna has that classic KDE vibe, which is pretty cool because KDE apps usually look clean and minimalistic. It’s not going to blow your mind with features, but it’s lightweight, speedy, and super easy to use.

Features You’ll Like

Now, let’s be honest: Arianna isn’t packed with fancy features. However, it does have some neat stuff! For example, if you’re running KDE, the app can automatically find your eBooks. Plus, it offers basic ways to keep your eBook collection organized by Author, Series, Publisher, Genres, and more.

The Reading Experience

The reading interface is decent but not groundbreaking. You can zoom in or out on your text and there’s a handy search feature that highlights words you look up. That’s pretty much the extent of it.

Customization Options

If customization is your thing, Arianna has some options for you! You can tweak the appearance like changing the maximum width and margins. Want to change the font? You can do that too or even stick with the publisher's font. Plus, you can adjust line height and colors to suit your taste!

Is Arianna Right for You?

If you're into the KDE aesthetic or already using KDE on your system, then Arianna could be a great fit for you—especially if you prefer minimalist apps. But if you’re hunting for something packed with features in an eBook reader app, you might want to explore other options.

A Drawback to Note

The biggest downside we see with Arianna? It only supports ePub format for eBooks and comic books—so keep that in mind!
