Does anyone know of a good way to have a linux computer read books (epub and pdf books etc) out loud to me?
I'm a complete noob when it comes to screen readers and such.

I have noticed multiple times that okular has the option to “Speak Whole Document” and “Speak Current Page”, but it's not something I really use.

I tried it today, I had to install the package speech-dispatcher to make it work, and then it did.

However, you probably also need to install a text-to-speech program and it's speech-dispatcher output module, because at least under debian the default is to use espeak, which is... characteristic :D and I know of a few, but I don't know which ones would be considered reasonably decent to listen to.

Pros: okular opens everything
Cons: quite a bit of research and fiddling required to make it work in a *good* way

interesting! If I got that to work, I could read any book, so fiddling might very much be worth it!

Thanks for the research, this has given me very good starting points!

I don't think this is a good way, but the hammer I know is Emacs. Nov.el from @wasamasa and emacspeak. The suggestions can only get better from here...

hihi well, I use vim, but I'm not at all surprised emacs has a way. I'd also guess it involves the arcane daemonic Lisp invocation language?

I don't think any satanical parentheses are needed, just installing a couple of add-on packages. That shouldn't be too hard on most Linux distros.
