Hello,
Well gtk UI for cainteoir is not as feature rich as we would wish
however I have to add another positive comments it is accessible.
Even content is rendered into a read only edit field for some
simple proof reading.
Greetings

There is cainteoir which now supports epub3 with media
overlays.
The player, however is not feature-ritch at the moment. If
someone is good at writing c++, that player could be expanded to
be quite good.
The cainteoir library supports reading a number of formats.
On Android, there is a player called menestrelo which is good for
reading epub3.

That’s too bad about epub readers. I think
these other solutions involving conversions and kludging around
with other formats just ruins the epub experience. I really like
the direct navigation features found in Apple’s iBooks
applications on all their devices. I wonder if evince can deal
with PDF books though. Has anyone had a chance to try this? Many
times, books are released in PDF as an alternative to epub but
still include much of the navigations normally available in
epub. My biggest complaint with converting stuff to plain text
or whatever is you lose all that rich navigation that comes with
hyper text publications. Even HTML books navigate OK but you
can’t place bookmarks throughout the text with a web browser.

HI,
As you mentioned about e-book reader, the FBReader, CoolReader
and Calibre e-book readers are widely used on Linux platform
but I am also looking some other e-book reader that will
support all type of e-book format and will accessible with
Orca. So I have some information regarding to your queries
>> What are the tools available to read e-books?
:- The FBReader, CoolReader and Calibre are available for
Linux and Android platform. but FBReader and CoolReader have
limited support for e-book format,
but Calibre support all type of e-book format and Calibre is
open source for Linux platform but not for Android. Lucidor is
also used for reading e-books but its have limited feature.
>> Accessibility issues (if any) with e-book reader?
:- The FBReader, CoolReader and Calibre are not accessible to
orca. I used these e-book reader with Orca but Orca is not
able to read these e-book readers. But Lucidor e-book reader
is accessible with orca screen reader, but it have some issue
while reading e-books.
>> Navigation related issues with e-book reader?
:- while using these e-book reader they have limited
navigation feature, if we press mouce-scroll button for
zoom-in then it will not work as page number wise.
so these e-book readers have limited navigation facilities.
