No single article can cover all the applications in the world of readers, even on the Linux platform. The NookColor uses Anderoid as an OS, and supports multiple formats. The new Amazon Fire also uses a flavor of Linux. These eReaders are a far cry for the simple eBook readers of the past, and are changing the brick and mortar publishing industry.

The author overlooks the very well developed multi-format readers on the Linux platform. Okular already has backend libraries which add the epub support, although css support is not yet implemented. Still the books render quite well and, if you don’t know that it is supposed to have a certain look or font, you have no clue regarding the missing css support. Sadly, evince lags behind in this area, though a backend is under development.
