While on the subject of software that handles epub, I tried the Lector plugin for Firefox on an epub that I am building by hand. Since Lector is using Firefox to render the XHTML, things display just fine. There are three problems, however. One is a missing feature - no display of TOC, which is a real PITA. The second is a usability issue - you sometimes have to hit [PG-DN] twice to move to the next chapter. The third is a real nuisance - if you want to delete or modify an epub that you just displayed in Lector, you have to close Firefox completely, not just the tab that was viewing the epub. This last one is a lot of trouble when you are creating an epub and trying to check formatting and such.
