I personally use Zathura, it's minimalistic and uses VIM bindings.
But if you want something feature-dense, with a way of organising your library, eReader integration, file converting and more, Calibre is pretty amazing (and the actual reader part of Calibre is quite nice to use in my opinion).
Huh ok, I’ll have to give zathura a peek. Sounds interesting
Yeah I love calibre. I use it to manage my main library on my server, in addition to calibre-web for managing my front end. It’s really good at managing a ton of ebooks
Hmmm . . . I can't get Calibre to open a PDF on Linux. Any suggestions?
Did you add the pdf to your Calibre library and open it or did you open it from somewhere else?
Hi, sorry for taking so long to get back--I right clicked on the PDF on my desktop, and told it to "open with (calibre) ebook viewer," at which point it just hangs and says "Preparing book for first read, please wait."
Maybe try opening Calibre proper and adding the pdf to your library first? It should work the way you're doing it, not sure why it's hanging like that - unless there's a problem with your Library location?
Do calibre or zathura have the ability to remove and rearrange pdf pages?
Thanks! Will definitely take a look. Was kind of hoping for a "one-stop shopping" all in one PDF reader, which is why I use MasterPDF, tho it's not open source 🙁

If you need a tool to remove and rearrange PDF pages, maybe give PDF Arranger a try? https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger
