Answers.Text: Thank you. I've been playing with Calibre as of late, and it seems very useful. I just have some slight issues with the resulting text format, but nothing that can't be resolved by messing around with it a bit more.

  You can try the good old [ebook reader](http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/viewer.html) bundled with Calibre. It's a multiplatform software, so it's available for other systems too, not just for Windows. Besides being a great application (Calibre itself is the swiss army knife for all things related to ebooks), it's also free and open-source.
  
  There is also [EPUBReader](http://www.epubread.com/), it's not a standalone program but a Firefox extension. Anyway I've never used it so I can't tell you much more than this.
  
  Other available ereaders are those tied to online ebook stores, like [Kindle](https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/fd/kcp), [Kobo](https://www.kobo.com/desktop), [Nook](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/h/nook/apps), and so on.

  I like Readium, which is an extension for Google Chrome. Works best for me.
  
  [TxtR](http://de.txtr.com/devices/windows-8/) is also a good option.
