Ah, I see. When you said browser viewer I was thinking a very barebones 'preview book' type viewer rather than full alternative to the current crop of reader apps.
I do agree there is a big audience that would want easier mobile viewing than there is now, the process is quite intimidating. I just wonder if an app that could link directly to your library through dropbox might work better. Perhaps I'm in the minority but I can barely recall when I've used browser apps in lieu of dedicated apps. I always use the Kindle app over the Kindle Cloud reader. Particularly with ebooks files, I'm not sure how you'd go about storing them. It seems like you wouldn't be able to store more than the one you have open and even with the currently viewed one I think many of the web browsers like Safari automatically refresh if a tab wasn't used for a while which would cause you to lose your book if you're not connected to your server (unless there is some kind of local browser storage feature). Not to mention an app featured on the ios and android app stores could garner many thousands of new users.
