I can't find one. I've tried about a dozen across Linux and Android, not a single one is even remotely usable. It may be that epub is a write-only format?

I got a bunch of woodworking books off Humble Bundle, the example above is Taunton Press' Complete Illustrated Guide To Table Saws. I'm comfortable with you having that book, not sure I'm comfortable distributing copies.

    I did find a different book of theirs and ran it through the stuff I have on my tablet

    The only one that gave a decent render was perfectviewer, which is mainly for comics.

    Nowhere near as good as a pdf version of a different book from the same publisher, a recipe book.

    I think you may end up being better off converting files to pdf and going that route
