I've found that iBooks has a great display stylesheet for epub and what makes it great is the ratio of text size to whitespace. It also limits how wide text can get - no need to spread it across the whole page. You could probably double the size of your margins to improve this.

I am also not sure if Firefox is causing this, but inter-line distances do not seem to be consistent and that is very distracting as a reader.

In both browsers the next/prev page arrows are also weirdly off-center.

* Hovering over either button on the top right opens a menu. I'm pretty sure only the far right is supposed to.

* Needs an option to center the content for wide screens.

Have you considered adding support for loading files from the user's Google Drive/Dropbox/etc? It seems like many apps would benefit from this. I've been toying with the idea of writing a JS lib to provide a common interface to all the big ones, kind of like how rclone does for the command line but for frontend apps.

1. It initially defaults to showing two facing pages per screen, but the selector shows "Read a chapter as a long scrolled page" as selected. "Fit 2 page side by side in window" is the same and is presumably the actual default. Switching back to "long scrolled page" from that does do what you'd expect. This is fullscreen on a 1920x1080 desktop display.

2. I personally dislike side-by-side views - I find them distracting - but at this size the line length for "long scrolled page" is too long for readability. I'd prefer a "long scrolled page but with shorter lines and bigger margins" option, like Firefox's reader view.
