There are a few offline standalone apps. I've not had any difficulty basically opening and reading non-DRM epubs on my ChromeOS machines, but the apps don't have bells and whistles. The big name cloud apps work fine, of course: Kindle Cloud Reader, Overdrive and Google Play.
What we don't have in ChromeOS are apps that can read epubs with DRM, other than the site-specific cloud apps.
It's definitely an area where the Android apps could be a big benefit.
Note, though, that this is only coming to selected hardware. It's a long list, but I think they are the newer machines. My older Acer and Samsung devices aren't on the list.
