EPub Editor

Dear experts,

I need to create an application that would read and display documents in EPUB format. It also will have to be able to record audio and attach wave files to corresponding lines of text. But first I would start with displaying and editing the text. I am not sure how to do it, or even what technology to use: WPF or MFC. Could you please give me an advise? Thanks.

I know that Calibre is Open Source.
It reads all Ebook formats.

Try you to do Ebook reader from zero ?

You can find it at: http://code.google.com/p/calibre-ebook/updates/list
You can read: Inside epub

Note that basics is work with Zip Files ,Xml and Html.
I think NetFramework has some class to work with it.

It is easy work with c# than c++.

Wow, that must be it! I wonder why I didn't notice this file myself. Thanks.
I could unzip epub programmatically, even without renaming the extension.
