There is no such reader as far as I know, besides a notebook or a tablet.
What you see here is an UGLY HACK that might or might not work for particular .odt file.
odt files and epub files are both .zip archives, and have similar structure. The similarity ends there.
Take an odf file, rename it to .odf.zip and have as look inside. Do the same with epub.
You can not simply unzip an epub and then zip it again. There is one file (I think it is manifest) that has to go in with zero compression and has to be at the beginning of the archive. If you need to unzip, edit and then put back together an epub file you can use Calibre context menu.
