overview for grey

My question is basically the title. I'm making my own Puppy Linux remaster and it already has a .PDF reader for it that is very small. I think it's called Evince? It has a native GTK UI and starts in a second, uses very little RAM and CPU. Now I need a .EPUB reader. I've seen a couple different .EPUB reader apps out there for different distros, and they all the .EPUB readers seem to fall into a couple categories:

humongous JS monstrosity that runs inside a web browser OR packages an entire chrome copy into it with a bloated dependency hell
something else that is humongous and has dependency hell but non secretly a massive web app inside a web browser under the hood.

So is there some third option that's small and light and easy to install like the normal .PDF reader? I'm just asking because I honestly didn't find one that fit the bill.

Man, just go back to normal trains and now computers with attached trains. Can't hack or remotely kill what doesn't have a computer in it.

Does anyone know how to make a iPod Nano gen 3 (Pink) to work with Linux Mint? (discuss.tchncs.de)

This is actually a problem with all iPods it seems, but I can't get any of them to work on Linux Mint, or any distro. There are literally programs on the repos for working with iPods that show up if you search "iPod" and none of them actually with the four iPods I was recently given. The most popular one google results reccomend is GTKpod, and GTKpod has a helpful seems that seems to let you actually pick and choose which one you are connecting, even by color, because I guess that matters. On every iPod I've tried on GTKpod on Linux Mint and on Manjaro, none work. All either just silently hang with no error message or spit out a slew of different error messages. The one I'm trying to make it work with the most is the iPod Nano Gen 3 Pink because I want to give it away as a gift to someone with a Linux Mint computer. But nothing seems to work with them. Does anyone know what's up with that?

Two things make you feel less hungry, longer. And that's fiber and protein. So what's something portable like an apple that I could buy a lot of and eat at work or whatever? Like I could buy a lot of apples and eat them anywhere, and while they have fiber they don't really have protein.
