Okular has an EPub backend using libepub and QTextDocument. How does 
Arianna compare to that? I would expect native code to be more efficient 
than JavaScript *especially* on mobile devices, which are apparently 
Arianna's main target. But I do not know whether there are, e.g., EPub 
documents that Arianna can render and Okular cannot, so that is why I am 
asking how they compare.
