Ah okay, that makes sense :). I don't have any experience with ebooks, so I 
don't know how well the Okular libraries handle them. However, reading PDFs is 
probably at least as important a usecase as ebooks for our reader. 
So in case the Calligra Words engine actually handles ebooks better than 
Okular, it would make sense to use different backends for the two file types. 
@Bogdan: Would that be possible for your reader?
