Would you consider ditching custom parsing in favor of a different engine, Readium? It's written in pure Kotlin, and should be able to handle most things you could find in epub3 ebooks. It already supports most improvements that were suggested in the milestone (images, pagination, text-to-speech, bookmarks), and additionally you can easily use it to support pdf files as well. You can also store books in a safe zone as you mentioned on #57, which you can test out with the test app they pre-build on their release page.

The entire toolkit also has a ton of support, so development should continue to the foreseeable future. What do you think?

I am sorry for such a long response.. I have forgotten to answer this and so I am here. Creating custom parsers allows me to create more specific things and to not rely on something or someone else. Not to mention that such big change would be very big in terms of code.

No worries! Just thought I'd let you know in case you were interested. Thanks for responding!
