I think a better option to create an ebook reader for DOS is to build one. My thought is most ebooks (at least EPUB) are just zip files that contain a predetermined structure;
Yes, ePub files are just zip files with a bunch of xml metadata and some html/css formatting. But that's not the point - Calibre is not an ebook reader in the first place, it's a huge converting / cataloging / sanitizing beast.
As for reading ebooks on FreeDOS, the only sane way I am aware of today is to convert ePub files to raw txt (for ex. using Calibre). But why would anyone want to read ebooks on DOS anyway? These things are best read on a paper-like screen, ie. not something a PC can offer.
