As I've posted before (in several places) non-drm epub books are
simply html files with other files included to make navigating the
books easier. You can simply rename the epub to .zip, extract it,
and read it with the web browser of your choice, no special
software required.
Doing it this way won't give you the navigation features, (table
of contents, previous/next, and so on), but it's a quick and
simple way to read the books without having to install extra
software for the job.

May I know whether
there’s a way in which to read epub material.
I read a little about
the format and have heard that it is somewhat accessible.
May I ask anyone of you
who ever read an epub-formatted book to elaborate further
about the format?
I hear people who read
books in that format saying that one can only read epub
books through google chrome, because google has what they
call readium reader and that reader can read the books in
the format.
Are you aware of that
and how accessible is that with a screen reader like jaws or
nvda?
Does it mean that
internet/firefox browser cannot handle epub material?
What other application
does one use to read books in the epub format?
Your assistance in this
regard is appreciated in advance.
