I've read a bit through the Okular-sources and they're looking like a very 
good base for the reader so far. KDE-Dependencies shouldn't be a problem too.

pdf-support in Okular is very good anyway so this shouldn't be a problem in my 
opinion. ePub seems to work fine too. Chm is supported but haven't tried it out 
because the Okular-package in the Ubuntu-repos is compiled without chm-
support.
Here's a nice overview of the formats supported by Okular btw.: 
http://okular.kde.org/formats.php :)
