I can't say I've tried that, but you could give it a shot. There are so many
add-ons and freeware that can probably extract the digital protected content
too that you may want to look into that as well. Legal issues not
withstanding. Go ahead and try the ePub Reader though. It might just work.
You can navigate by chapter, insert bookmarks etc. There's also a very good
podcast about this add-on that you can listen to on the BlindCoolTech
website as well.

Does the ePub add-on for Firefox read protected files like those from
Overdrive?
