Or better yet, let's find an open source PDF reader to integrate :) Can you dig into it and rename/rework your issue?

@vv181 ebook is a duplicate of https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/623 - unless such solution can also support PDF, not sure.

I've done embedded epub players before, my suggestion would be: https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js/

In regards to support for MOBI etc, it should be pretty computationally inexpensive to convert those formats serverside to .epub, maybe with a small service specifically for that. Alternatively, if .epub is supported users could use one of a handful of free online services to convert their ebook to .epub which if I remember correctly is the most popular (de facto standard) for online ebook rendering.
