Abstract
EPUB is one of the most popular ebook formats. It is supported by many e-Readers, such as Apple’s iBooks, BlackBerry Playbooks, Sony Reader, Kobo eReader, Amazon Kindle Fire, and the Mozilla Firefox add-on EPUBReader. In this report, we describe our implementation of a JavaScript and PHP EPUB reader web application. This web application allows users to read the EPUB format books easily across multiple devices without any specified platform lock-in. Our application provides an EPUB library. When a user logs in, he can borrow an EPUB book from the library and save into his own bookshelf, then choose any one from his own bookshelf to read. Our application tracks where a user has been reading so users can easily pick up where they left off if they leave the application.
