Only drawback, in my view, is the requirement of "espeak, antiword" packages outside the uv environment. I would prefer that all tools be installable inside the uv environment to reduce possible corruption or errors.
I do seem to have one issue. When I tried to use the "t" keyboard shortcut, the application refused to continue reading the book, epub in this case, when I pressed "a" to start auto playback. Pressing and depressing "pause" has no effect. Deactivating and reactivating the environment has no effect but it does drop me back to where it left off.
Though the terminal interface is acceptable, may I suggest that a more interactive interface might make it more attractive to people that are also used to a GUI interface. Perhaps creating a terminal GUI option using the Textual Python Terminal package.
It would also be good if when typing "lue", the app will automatically find the book I was last reading without me having to specify it in as an argument every time. A keyboard shortcut to display the reading history would also be useful.
Just a thought :)
