Bene is a reading system for documents written in the EPUB file format. You can try a live demo of Bene here: https://nota-lang.github.io/bene/

Development Status: Bene is a research prototype. Don't expect it to work reliably yet.

Currently, the only supported setup is installation from source. You will need at least Rust and Depot.

Bene is distributed as a web app and a desktop app.

You will need wasm-pack. Then run:

cd bene/js
depot -p bene-web build

Then you can serve the web app by running:

cd packages/bene-web/dist
python -m http.server

And visit http://localhost:8000/. You can replace the python command with however you like to serve static files.

You will need the Tauri CLI, which you can install by running:

cargo install tauri-cli

Then run:

cd rs
cargo tauri build

This will generate a binary you can use on your system. I have only tested this on MacOS and it only kind of works, so I would just use the web app for now.
