--- Comment #1 from [email protected] ---
According to Fabrice Florin, it is possible that community developers can
implement special handlers for showing complex formats like djvu or epub in
Media Viewer, using hooks or plugins to be provided next year.

This would open the possibility to have an integrated djvu or epub reader
directly into the Media Viewer. See recent epub.js 
http://fchasen.github.io/epub.js/

And an example: http://book.23rdcenturyromance.com/

ePub files are currently not stored in Commons, but they are generated in
Wikisource. A new epub export extension could have in cache the generated ePub
files, and this could be served to the Media Viewer in Wikipedia or Wikisource.

An author page in Wikipedia/Wikisource could have a media gallery of books
pulled from Wikidata (edition items by author in current language). On clicking
on the cover it would display the epub or djvu version, whatever is available.
From this point it should be possible to invite readers to transcribe the book
in Wikisource if the book is only available as djvu.
