@Tex2002ans
Do you now much about futurepress's epub.js. Is it both epub2 and epub3 compliant? How does their "serve it up as a webpage" approach compare to other e-readers. Does it handle fixed layout? Does it handle embedded fonts?

I asked because I was thinking about adding a more advanced "proof my finished work" function to Sigil and thought that by integrating these epub.js javascripts into a Qt QWebKit or QWebEngine (effectively serving them as if they came from the web) might be a good way to allow users to get a better feeling for how their epub would be viewed by end users.

Any thoughts on either the appropriateness of using epub.js (possibly with the annotation feature for proofing) or even on the entire idea of a better cross-platform proofing tools for standard epubs being added to Sigil. I thought about trying with Readium but it being tied to Chrome so closely make it hard to use and integrate into other projects like Sigil.

Thanks
