title_body: Parsing an epub file and displaying its contents on a website? I want to show my epub files on my site, so I'm thinking of creating my own reader in PHP. First I need to know how to read this file type.
  
  Can I show the HTML files that are in the epub directly in the browser?
upvoted_answer: Yes, the files are 'real' HTML (or rather XHTML) and will work in any web browser.
