Foliate

Foliate is an open-source ebook reader for Linux, listed in MirrorNest’s education category. It is suited to people who read digital books on a Linux system, including readers using ebooks for study or general reading. The application provides a focused reading environment with controls for adjusting how text is displayed.

It can open EPUB, Mobipocket, Kindle, FB2, CBZ, and PDF files. Readers can choose between paginated and scrolled views depending on how they want to move through a book. Font and line spacing can be customized for different reading preferences. Light, sepia, dark, and invert modes provide several display options.

A reading progress slider shows a position in the book and includes chapter marks for navigation. Foliate supports bookmarks and annotations, allowing readers to mark or add notes to places in the text. The find-in-book function helps locate specific terms or passages, while quick dictionary lookup supports checking word meanings during reading.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Foliate build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication. This distribution setup gives Linux users a direct download path for the open-source application while preserving its platform and education-category classification.
