Any suggestions?

You mean reading APPS? Over devices? Then it's likely that the Koboreader is your best bet, but an iPad with iBooks is likely going to make them happiest, in terms of what they see/feel/experience. Although Kobo uses a format for FF ePUBs cobbled (to put it politely) from iBooks, it's not going to be QUITE the same. I don't know of any other desktop viewer that supports fixed-format, for previewing. Certainly Nook does not--you can't even load and preview a NookKids' book on the NookKids' reader, which is amazingly short-sighted to me.
I once had to buy, register, and ship a NookColor to a client in Australia, so he could see the 24 books we were making for him for NookKids'. It's possible that someone else knows of a reading app, but...I assume you're trying to preview iBooks FF books, with a client that doesn't have an iPad? Is that the issue? I mean, if that's not what you're doing, for which platform are you making this? Only Kobo and iBooks have readers that support FF ePUBS, so... ???
