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 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
