That works and is a good way to test this. But, the method used to store positions in the book (current reading position and bookmarks) is different to epubs. This relies on spans added around each sentence with ids that follow a certain pattern. Without these, if you close and reopen a book, it will open to the beginning of the chapter or the book. The conversion or the driver adds the spans.
