Okay, so maybe you’re not reading books on your desktop, maybe you’d like to use your laptop to catch up on a few pages of Game of Thrones while sitting on one. Hey, I’m not judging. And considering the Ubuntu Phone is right around the corner, maybe knowing how to get your e-books on Ubuntu isn’t such a bad idea. | Okay, so maybe you’re not reading books on your desktop, maybe you’d like to use your laptop to catch up on a few pages of Game of Thrones while sitting on one.

As with any exhaustive review like this (meaning, one where I hit the keys randomly until I come up with a solution), I begin in the Ubuntu Software Center. My razor-sharp intellect tells me I should start by typing the word “Kindle” into the search field. Yeah, I’m practically Einstein. When I do, I find something called Jutoh. The description seems to indicate it’s more for content creation than reading. But at $39.00, I didn’t bother to download it. This may be a perfectly reasonable price for the software, but I don’t have that kind of money lying around. If I did, I’d pay someone to code my new Date-a-Geek website, where you can select your age, sexual preference, and preferred operating system. I seriously advise you steer clear of anyone looking for Hurd enthusiasts, | As with any exhaustive review like this (meaning, one where I hit the keys randomly until I come up with a solution), I begin in the Ubuntu Software Center.

Anywho, it turns out Amazon doesn’t have a native Ubuntu client for Kindle Books. This seems a little odd until you realize there’s a dead simple solution called the Kindle Cloud Reader.

This is a very slick and easy way to get your Kindle books on any device that has internet access. My guess is there will be a native app for the Ubuntu phones (purportedly coming in 2014). But if you don’t see it on Day 0, you can always access your Kindle titles this way. | This is a very slick and easy way to get your Kindle books on any device that has internet access.

Depending on your worldview (like, say, if you own an independent bookstore), you might not be a huge fan of Mr. Bezos and his juggernaut. If that’s the case, there are plenty of other ways to read your e-book titles, no matter where you purchased them. | Depending on your worldview (like, say, if you own an independent bookstore), you might not be a huge fan of Mr. Bezos and his juggernaut.

Here’s the thing about Ubuntu. You remember that scene in Back to the Future, when Doc Brown shows up at the end of the movie in a modified DeLorean? He digs around in Marty’s trash and pulls out a banana peel and some backwashed soda, and pours it into the Mr. Fusion to get it running again. | Here’s the thing about Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is the Mr. Fusion of operating systems. Your favorite app isn’t available natively for Ubuntu? Who cares! We’ll take your app, slather it in our special sauce, and run it like we’re witch doctor’s raising the dead. Nothing can stop us!

All you need is a little wine. No, I’m not suggesting you get drunk, although that certainly can’t hurt. I’m referring to WINE (Wine is Not an Emulator), software that allows you to run Windows programs in Linux. I have no idea what’s under the hood, but The Force is strong with this one. Seriously, even if you don’t need to run e-book apps, just download WINE and thank me later. At some point in the future, you’ll download a .exe file, wondering how you’ll ever get it working, only to have WINE rise like some benevolent genie after you rubbed her lamp, and grant you the wish of software compatibility. | All you need is a little wine.

Another major e-reader is the Kobo. When I checked the Software Center, I found an app, downloaded it, and was well through level 20 on this cool little 2D side-scrolling shooter before I realized there’s a game called Kobo in the software center. In case you were wondering, no, you can’t read e-books on that. | Another major e-reader is the Kobo.

If you don’t have a reader, or you simply want a good way of reading your various PDFs, .docs and open source ebook formats on Ubuntu, you can always download one of several e-reader apps from the Software Center. FBReader and Calibre are both available there, and both pop up on “best of” lists on a regular basis, so they’re worth giving a try. | If you don’t have a reader, or you simply want a good way of reading your various PDFs, .docs and open source ebook formats on Ubuntu, you can always download one of several e-reader apps from the Software Center.
