I wonder if Page Edit might work… or be easily made to work? An executable that doesn’t need to be installed… perhaps pre-loaded with the customer’s ePub so there is no chance they get the wrong file. It could log any changes they made…

Oooh, i didn't
think of
that. I wonder if we could export the html files, from the ePUB...hmmm....I mean, say, one chapter at a time. Alternatively, we could merge them all, export that as an HTML file..hmmm...(thinking hard)

Edit:
Might even be able to encrypt the ePub to discourage customers from taking the product without paying.
And while I’m brainstorming… a drop-down selector on the preview to select the target device(s)…with all the appropriate notices saying ‘this is an approximation - not a guarantee that it will be displayed this way…’

Phllbbft, we make them pay upfront. I leant that lesson the hard way(s). We were ripped off $10K in 2010 and $12K in 2011. That was the end of "pay upon completion." Trust me, I would NEVER suggest to a new bookmaker to take pay upon completion. Never.
About being ripped off:
Spoiler:
People used to make the sign of the cross around me, b/c I'd been in Real Estate Development, with hotels, restaurants, tec. for 30 years and of course, they assumed that I've dealt with criminals, mafiosos, etc., right? Well, let me tell you--I've been ripped off to a far, far greater extent, by authors than anybody else--ever. Not "linen" guys, garbage guys, etc. Not compared to authors. Especially considered proportionately. Shocking stuff.
I'll look into this Page Edit idea, Red. That may just work. One never knows!
