For our test subject, I used
Cory Doctorow's new novel _For the Win_
http://craphound.com/ftw/download/
but you can also find free ePUB ebooks on archive.org and
http://www.epubbooks.com/

But first I installed the
ePUBReader add-on for Firefox
http://www.epubread.com
by downloading it directly from the
EPUBReader Add-on page at Mozilla.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/45281/

After following the instructions to restart Firefox, you will see a
Welcome to ePUBReader page
chrome://epubreader/locale/welcome.html
which describes how ePUBReader works.

Basically there is a toolbar section located at the bottom of each page from which you go to the individual sections or pages. Using Jaws, it looks like this:

toolbar with 5 buttons
[link] ePub-Catalog [Kes: This is the list of epub ebooks which you have saved, from which you select the one you want to read.]
[link] Save copy
[link] Set bookmark
[button] skin/nav_backwards_enabled Alt+Shift+a [Kes: Guessing this is the button to go back a page.]
[button[ skin/nav_forwards_enabled [Kes: Click on this button to go to the next section or page.]
[button] Decrease font-size
[button] Increase font-size
toolbar end
