EPUB (short for electronic publication; alternatively capitalized as ePub, ePUB, EPub, or epub, with "EPUB" preferred by the vendor) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Files have the extension .epub.
EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display device. EPUB also supports fixed-layout content. The format is intended as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. It supersedes the Open eBook standard.[3]

For Firefox, add Lucifox. Lucifox is an ePub addon, It's similar in concept to EPUBReader, but does not require a catalog or keep a copy of the ePub volume in the Firefox profile directory. It's no longer in development, but is still available through the Mozilla Addons sire. See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-...
For Mozilla, there was also Lucidor, and ePub reader app implemented using the Mozilla XULRunner Gecko runtime. Lucidor was cross-platform, and would run where XULRunner did. (I have it up under Windows and Linux.) It's no longer in development and the original website is now a placeholder. You can still get the XULRunner version it used (1.9.2) from Mozilla's FTP site, and copies of the Windows and Linux packages can still be found on third-party sites.
