ePub is a bunch of some kind of HTML + CSS files, normally (but not always) separated by chapters (that is, one file, one chapter).

It seems they are reading and parsing each HTML file after passing the last page of the previous one. Other readers a) load the entire book or b) caches the previous and next html file.
