I'm (genuinely) curious about why you want a command line ebook reader?

Why not?

I'm all on board with "just to see if it can be done", but it feels unlikely you will come up with something as easy to use or enjoyable to read on as a graphical solution.

I have a project with a raspberry pi 2 and small screen that works with the command line very well. I want to stay in there.

The issue with just using other txt options is that bookmarks, dictionaries, and just knowing where I left off would be difficult. Plus I only have a couple of mapped keys.
