I suspect it shouldn't be that difficult to implement in eFiction (which is the engine your site runs on, right?). If you'd like help doing that, I'm offering.
I'm currently running efiction 3.5.2? it's the most up-to-date version.

If I'm reading the php classes page correctly it looks like efiction would have to support zip files to make this work. I think I saw a module for that at one point? I think since efiction supports modules we'd have to do something like that to add epub support.

I'd love help to get this set up because honestly I don't even know where to start beyond the modules, my knowledge of PHP is also limited, though I'm also willing to learn. I am familar with css and html coding and I have looked at the PHP coding for the site since I modified the skins.

my personal email is amalthia at gmail.com if you want to take this off forum. (though I'm not going to lie this is the last month of the semester for my grad school and everything is due, so time is limited.) So I'm not sure how much help I'd be until the semester is over.
