This is a portable application that can open ePUB books (EPUB 2 and EPUB 3) and it's made just with native AutoIt UDFs. It's a personal project since I have many ebooks but I post the code here just in case someone else need a portable and lightweight reader or simply to learn how to read ePUB files. Features: Load ePUB book Navigation through content (backward / forward / stop / refresh) with a visual indicator of chapters in the form of an interactive slider. Resizeable and (partially) customizable UI Custom CSS (partially) Jump to chapter Note: This is an early (experimental) release that might have undiscovered bugs and please note that some features are just partially implemented. I tested the application with a dozen of ePUB books but I am sure that some bugs might come to light soon, so if you found any just let me know and I will try to fix the application. I don't have enough space to upload the source and binary here but you can see the entire project on GitHub or download from AutoIt.

I was looking for something that is equivalent to what sites like zamzar.com do: https://www.zamzar.com/convert/epub-to-txt/ Are there any existing UDFs that do this?

One year ago, I created an Epub/Ebook manager. Its good for short loadingtime and Detailed Information about the Books. With the manager it comes an full-reader with readout-function (TTS), using installed voices. This Program is used to Manage e-books/epubs. You can import directorys. A lot of information is read from the epub and saved in a database. Most important is the speed of loading books, because the management should be used for lots of epubs. All chargings are displayed. There is also an Sql-Console, if you want to edit a lot of entry, otherwise you can do a rightclick and edit every Element in another window. Also there is a Epub-Reader to read the epubs just with a doubleclick at any entry. Information saved in the database (if they can be read in the epub): identifier, author, description, title, genre, creationdate, path, speach Information about Epub-Reader: The Epub-Reader opens Epubs and they can be read chapter by chapter. At the left side there is a Listbox, where you can select the chapters There is also a read out function, reading your epub. (You can change Voice and Audiooutput, but you need to have installed a TTS-Speach). Also you can edit the font-size. I translated the Programm in english to post it here. If you like it, please leave me a comment, also if you have any suggestions to make it better or if you found bugs. I have rewritten the complete Project in C++ (QT). The speed was improved >10x. There are also some other improvements. You can find it at my webside. For more information and direct executables, please visit my website: http://kanashius.de/?page=autoitBuchverwaltung Because i get Error -200 uploading the files, you need to visit my side to download. Maybe anyone of you have a suggestion to Upload it here.
