The viewer requires the entire conversion engine. Which requires Qt. The viewer only supports displaying EPUB. So, every format is first converted to EPUB before being displayed. This can take a few minutes on a modern desktop so I don't want to think trying it on a phone. The viewer also uses a QWebView (WebKit widget) to display the pages.
