+## Project Goals
+
+The idea behind this  project is to build a small TUI  tool to be able
+to just take a look into some  epub file without the need to leave the
+shell. It has to be fast enough  to just peak into an ebook and should
+be small and easy to understand.
+
+There will be no GUI, no web interface, no public API of some sort, no
+builtin interpreter.  It is not intended  to build a full  blown ebook
+reader.
+
+The  programming  language  used  for  this  project  will  always  be
+[GOLANG](https://go.dev/)  with  the  exception of  the  documentation
+([Perl POD](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod)) and the Makefile.
+
+# Contributing
+
+You can contribute to this project in various ways:
+
+## Open an issue
+
+If you encounter  a problem or don't understand how  the program works
+or if you think the documentation is unclear, please don't hesitate to
+open an issue.
+
+Please add as much information about the case as possible, such as:
+
+- Your environment (operating system etc)
+- program version
+- Input data. Please replace sensitive information with mock data!
+- Actual program output.
+- Expected program output.
+- Error message - if any.
+
+Be aware  that I  am working on  this (and some  other) project  in my
+spare  time which  is scarce.   Therefore  please don't  expect me  to
+respond to  your query within  hours or even  days. Be patient,  but I
+WILL respond.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+Code and documentation help is  always much appreciated! Please follow
+thes guidelines to successfully contribute:
+
+-  Every  pull   request  shall  be  based   on  latest  `development`
+  branch. `main` is only used for releases.
+  
+- Execute the  unit tests before committing: `make  test`. There shall
+  be no errors.
+  
+- Strive  to be  backwards compatible  so that  users who  are already
+  using the program  don't have to change their habits  - unless it is
+  really neccessary.
+
+- Try to add a unit test for your addition.
+
+- Don't ever change existing unit tests!
+
+- Add a meaningful and comprehensive rationale about your contribution:
+  - Why do you think it might be useful for others?
+  - What did you actually change or add?
+  - Is there an open issue which  this PR fixes and if so, please link
+    to that issue.
+
+- [Re-]format your code with `gofmt -s`.
+
+- Avoid unneccesary dependencies, especially for very small functions.
+
+- **If** a  new dependency is being added, it  must be compatible with
+  our [license agreement](LICENSE).
+  
+- You  need to accept  that the  code or documentation  you contribute
+  will be redistributed under the  terms of said license agreement. If
+  your  contribution  is  considerably  large  or  if  you  contribute
+  regularly, then  feel free  to add  your name and  if you  want your
+  email    address     to    the    *AUTHORS*    section     of    the
+  manual page.
+
+- Adhere to the above mentioned project goals.
+
+-  If  you are  unsure if  your addition or  change will  be accepted,
+  better ask before starting coding. Open an issue about your proposal
+  and let's  discuss it! That way  we avoid doing unnessesary  work on
+  both sides.
+    
+Each pull  request will be  carefully reviewed and  if it is  a useful
+addition  it  will  be  accepted. However,  please  be  prepared  that
+sometimes a  PR will be  rejected.  The reasons  may vary and  will be
+documented.   Perhaps the  above guidelines  are not  matched, or  the
+addition seems  to be not so  useful from my perspective,  maybe there
+are  too  much  changes  or  there  might  be  changes  I  don't  even
+understand.
+
+But whatever happens: your contribution is always welcome!

+## Usage
+
+To read an ebook, just give a filename as argument to `epuppy`.
+
+Add  the option  `-s` to  store and  use a  previously stored  reading
+progress.
+
+Sometimes you may be unhappy with the colors. Depending on your
+terminal style you can enable dark mode with `-D`, light mode is the
+default. You can also configure custom colors in a config file in
+`$HOME/.config/epuppy/confit.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# color setting for dark mode
+colordark = {
+  body = "#ffffff",
+  title = "#7cfc00",
+  chapter = "#ffff00"
+}
+
+# color setting for light mode
+colorlight = {
+  body = "#000000",
+  title = "#8470ff",
+  chapter = "#00008b"
+}
+
+# always use dark mode
+dark = true
+```
+
+There are also cases where your current terminal just doesn't have the
+capabilites for this stuff. I stumbled upon such a case during an SSH
+session from my Android phone to a FreeBSD server. For this you can
+either just disable colors with `-N` or by setting the environment
+variable `$NO_COLOR` to 1. Or you can just dump the text of the ebook
+and pipe it to some pager, e.g.:
+
+```default
+epuppy -t someebook.epub | less
+```
+
+There are also a couple of debug options etc, all options:
+
+```default
+Usage epuppy [options] <epub file>
+
+Options:
+-D --dark                enable dark mode
+-s --store-progress      remember reading position
+-n --line-numbers        add line numbers
+-c --config <file>       use config <file>
+-t --txt                 dump readable content to STDOUT
+-x --xml                 dump source xml to STDOUT
+-N --no-color            disable colors (or use $NO_COLOR env var)
+-d --debug               enable debugging
+-h --help                show help message

+# epub module
+
+This is a modified version of the [epub
+module](https://github.com/kapmahc/epub/). I fixed a couple of issues
+and I added code to retrieve the actual epub content, which the
+original module doesn't implement. Since the last update on that
+module was 9 years ago (as I write this), it doesn't make sense to
+send a PR. And it also makes no sense to me to publish it separately.
+
+
+# ORIGINAL README
+
+## epub
+A pure go implementation of epub file format.
