About Arianna
Arianna is an ebook reader from the KDE community that works with EPUB files. It finds the books on your computer automatically and sorts them into a library by category, genre and author, so you can browse a collection rather than opening files one at a time.
It is installed through Flathub, Discover or your distribution's package manager. It is released with KDE Gear on a regular monthly schedule, and the source is published under the GPL-3.0.
