Which fedora package can read EPUB docs?

[JD]

Downloaded a freebie doc from Amazon,
and it is an EPUB document.
Wondering which app I need to install to
read such docs.

fbreader or calibre . If you install calibre, use ebook-reader, not calibre
itself, unless you want it to build (without asking for your permission,
of  course) a database of all your documents.

Thanx.
My ebook file seems to be corrupted, as /bin/FBReader producted an empty 
file.

You can check it with (un)zip.

Is it possible to split ebook-reader from calibre?

The only reason why I install calibre is to be able to open epub files with
ebook-reader. Calibre automatic database generation is annoying.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by a split here, but it's easy
to just not start calibre, and use ebook-reader (and the incredibly
useful ebook-convert) as standalone programs instead.

The Linux version of FBReader is getting a bit too old as upstream has been
concentrating more and more on the Android port (best eBook reader for
Android IMHO). So I'd definitely try with calibre ebook-viewer and of
course as has been posted here in this thread, you can always unzip an
.epub (which basically a zip archive packed in a particular way).
