And for Android have a look at the Gitden and Infinity viewers, both handle many EPUB3 features, including interactivity.

Converting a set of HTML5 web pages to EPUB3 or so-called 'apps' for IOS and Android will require considerable effort.

With care it should be possible to produce an EPUB3 that - a) makes use of your HTML5 code (assuming it's consistent and coherent), and - b) works on the better EPUB3 readers for IOS and Android.

Creating an 'app' for both IOS and Android is best done with one of the several cross-platform development tools - but they ain't cheap, and I'm not sure how much of your HTML5 could be reused - somewhere between none and some.


I hate the noise that's spelt 'app', a loathsome appellation that I would send to the dustbins of Uffern.
