I had to load a Firefox extension[0] to read ePub. I don’t think it can read them without it.

Sure; the book is a website, not a webpage. The harness has to do three things:

1. Unzip the file.

2. Display the content root.

3. Handle the implicit transition from one chapter to the next.

All of the work involved here is in step 2, writing the web renderer.
