It took me an hour from HTML file to an app published in Play store. My web app (now in beta) can also read a bunch of small HTML files and create an android app from them. So, if you have a site and want to turn it into an app, you can. If you, however, wanted a plugin that acted as an ebook reader, that would be something else. I have started writing one such plugin for a client but they changed plans before I finished it. In particular, they had large books, hundreds of pages long, and they wanted search across all those files. (I wrote it but they left; oh, well.) That was me writing a plugin from scratch. Now, after a few more months I would know better. Now I would just go to github and use one of those projects and turn them into a buzztouch plugin. Except that I won't because there is no money in it.

I don't have it and it seems nobody is offering it right now as a plugin. If one wanted to create one such plugin, it would be best to have a look at the software in github. The other thing that I was referring to is described here: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=C346AE4EC91567700728BEC That describes a process and a software which turns HTML books, such as those for Kindle, into Android apps, automatically. I apologise if my first explanation was a bit confused. Comments If you want a plugin that acts as an an ebook reader, that is one thing.

This has worked wonders for me. Comments @KennedyE I would use Tumult Hype and the Custom HTML Plugin with the HTML Pro Plugin. This has worked wonders for me.
