It feels like a bit of doomed a project simply bc browsers don't open EPubs. While browsers don't provide a convenient UI for opening EPUBs, they should have no problem rendering the chapter HTML files contained within. In the absence of browser support, writing a server-side EPUB-to-browsable site proxy that adds chapter navigation controls and simple layout options shouldn't be too difficult. Incorporating the necessary DRM support required to view the majority of commercial ebooks through such a proxy would very likely be legally problematic, of course. Come to think of it, any form of publisher-approved DRM EPUB browser support sounds like it'd be about half a technical step away from DRM support for web pages in general, which is a horrifying prospect.
