Stan, I've seen the same problem and unfortunately have not found a solution (my phone is new enough, I just haven't downloaded Quine). It's kind of bizarre that Apple doesn't have a way to open an HTML file on your phone (except in preview, which doesn't work since it doesn't have JS), even though you have both a browser and a file storage area.
In any case, you're probably going to want to be able to save changes to the book to track your progress on the takeaways, so I'm not sure direct access through Firefox would work out well for this use case anyway.
