Foliate is really good with the security aspects of rendering ebooks. See the author's foliate-js library project (https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate-js?tab=readme-ov-fil...).

I've recently written an article about the dangers of ebooks. Maybe it's of interest to some: https://gebir.ge/blog/every-trick-in-the-book/



Thanks for the write up!

I just wanted to chime in to say the Foliate code is really beautifully written too.

I was able to hack together an epub audiobook reader by running a custom version of foliatejs in Microsoft Edge (which has an amazing and free text to speech engine called "read aloud"). It's VERT hacky but you can try it here: https://nathansherburn.github.io/foliate-js/

Works on mobile and desktop Edge.
