This is the third time that my computer freezes when opening an epub 
with Document Viewer. At first I thought the file was corrupted, but it 
also happens with other epub-files. The file opens, but I get a 
completely black page and can no longer do anything. Background 
processes continue to work (music keeps playing), the mouse can still be 
moved, but clicking anywhere or pressing keys on the keyboard has no 
effect whatsoever. Only option is to restart the pc with alt-sysreq-o.

Wanted to remove Document Viewer, but was not allowed to do so because 
of dependency hell.

Used Synaptic to remove everything xreader* and so now I think the 
stupid thing is finally gone. Pdf's now open in a browser. Anyone has 
had the same problem before? What is a good alternative to Document 
Viewer (which will never set foot on my hard disk again).

Thanks,
🧔
