Open third party Epub readers

Question

Actually I wanna develop a books list with EPUB format (list will be retrieved from web service).

When an item (a book) is selected, it should prompt up with available epub readers installed in the mobile. Similar to "Share" will invoke SMS, FB, Twitter etc apps.

I know there are third party EPUB reader sdk, but I don't wanna develop just another epub reader. Can someone point me to the correct resource please?

Thanks for your time in advance.

The typical approach to have a third-party app view a file is to use an ACTION_VIEW Intent, with a Uri pointing to the file (e.g., as published via FileProvider), and the MIME type for that file (e.g., application/epub+zip for EPUB).
