There's always Calibre[1], but it's really bloated. It's a very powerful and capable ebook management system though, it's just not really Mac-ish.
Adobe has a very good ePub reader, called 'Adobe Digital Editions'[2] that runs on Mac, Windows and (I assume) Linux. It's an Adobe Flash/Air application and is much prettier than Calibre. If you don't mind Flash on your mac (I gave up last year), It's currently the best choice.

[edit] No, there's no Linux version. You can use it with WINE though; use the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=701191 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=701191
- novalis 15y agoAdobe Digital Editions runs just great and is always handy. I don't get how no one else is doing something like it.
- tambourine_man 15y agoThanks. Isn't ePub just zipped xml/html? Why aren't there more choices? Seems like a wrapped Webkit would do the trick. Or maybe people just don't read much on PCs anymore.
- pooriaazimi 15y agoIt's more than just a zipped xml+css+html. There's a total mess underneath that open format specification (toc, item-references, etc). Use Calibre (right click -> tweak ePub -> explode ePub), or eCub[1] to see and manipulate what's inside an epub... [1]: http://www.juliansmart.com/ecub#mac http://www.juliansmart.com/ecub#mac
