Epub.js Reader

About the Reader

This reader came out of the Berkeley Future of eBooks classes in Fall & Spring 2013. It renders a ePub version of the TDO book using the Epub.js library.

It is very much still a work in progress, so please bear with us. We would greatly appreciate reports on any bug or issues you come across

Getting Started

All the rendering is encapsulated within Angular directives.

<epubreader> has only a src attribute and will render the complete reader.

<epubreader src="/moby-dick/"></epubreader>

<epubviewer> has several more attributes, requiring only only a src and will display just the basic epub, without the rest of the interface elements.

<epubviewer src="{{src}}"></epubviewer>

Other available attributes are:

on-ready
on-chapter-displayed
on-page-changed
path
cfi
metadata
toc
