An integrated epub reader.

[delaviux]

Hi, forgive my bad english not my first language
Basically what I have put in my title. It would be wonderful to integrate an Epub book reader into Vivaldi.
So far you can only read books using external addons that don't work quite well or are not fully integrated with the browser.
Vivaldi could change that. And add functionalities that these add-ons lack such as highlighting text, creating a library, integration with the Lingvanex translator….
I dream of an Epub reader at Vivaldi who lets me create notes from the text I select.
Those who love books and love Vivaldi will love this.
Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid idea.

It has a configurable excellent ebook reader.

No, it is not a stupid idea. I also use Calibri, but it would be more convenient to read E-books in Vivaldi: both *.epub and *.mobi for Kindle devices.

Calibri supports many formats, so if someone is seriously into reading E-books it might make more sense, but for someone who only occasionally browses E-books, it would be better to build it into Vivaldi.

PDF files can be associated with Vivaldi to read them in the browser, so why not djvu, e-pub, and mobi too?

Yes that would be great. Edge, for example, had a native Epub display but for some reason they decided to remove that feature.

Great idea! Aren't most epubs formatted in basically HTML anyway?
