Bookworm works on Debian's Linux distributions and looking at the source code, it should be fairly simple(*) to have packages for other Linux distributions generated. I do use Linux as well as Windows and Mac OSX so I am interested even if I don't have even vague plans to switch to Bookworm as my preferred ebook reader in the near future.

The major reason for my interest in/liking for Bookworm is pretty much a philosophical preference for single purpose application instead of the Swiss army knife applications that seem to be preferred by many programmers and users.

* fairly simple for someone will not actually be doing the work.

Well, I'm Elementary now, but reading the comments here, I'll stick to Calibre reading.
Thanks all for the comments! They are very helpful.
