    "bookformats": ["pdf", "epub" ,"mobi"]
}

Execute following command to get the usage:

$ bk --help
Usage: bk {-h | --help | -v | --version}
       bk [fuzzy | f | lunr | l | simple | s] searchTerm

   --help, -h      Show this infomation
   --version, -v   Show version

These are common sub commands used to search books with various search engines:

   fuzzy,  f       Search with fuzzy style
   lunr,   l       Search with lunr.js, a search engine which is like Solr
   simple, s       Search with exact match case insensitively
