If the "title" metadata element is nonexistent, EPUBReader fails to load the book.

Yes, epubs like this are against the epub spec. But EPUBReader should still be able to open them. I create a lot of test epubs while developing Sigil, and I usually don't bother adding metadata. It would be nice if EPUBReader could handle these.

It would also be great if I could use the left and right arrow keys to trigger the two green buttons at the bottom for changing chapters.

Otherwise this is an amazing extension to Firefox. I truly mean that. I need access to various epub readers, and this one uses Gecko (since it's Firefox), which makes it a nice addition to my testbed. It also has a nice, simple UI and it's very fast. And it works in full-screen mode!

Many thanks for developing this!
