Add to your config and open any .fb2 or .fb2.zip document.

(use-package fb2-reader
  :load-path "path/to/fb2-reader-dir"
  :mode (("\\.fb2\\(.zip\\|\\)$" . fb2-reader-mode))
  :custom
  ;; This mode renders book with fixed width, adjust to your preferences.
  (fb2-reader-page-width 120)
  (fb2-reader-image-max-width 400)
  (fb2-reader-image-max-height 400))

Download fb2-reader.el, put it somewhere in your load-path, add that string to your config:

(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/fb2-reader-dir")
(require 'fb2-reader)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.fb2\\(.zip\\|\\)$" . fb2-reader-mode))

Also you can set it up with use-package:

(use-package fb2-reader
  :load-path "path/to/fb2-reader-dir"
  :mode (("\\.fb2\\(.zip\\|\\)$" . fb2-reader-mode)))

Coming soon

Every book rendered as buffer with certain width, so you may want to tune variables related to your monitor’s size or reading preferences:

• fb2-reader-page-width - width of rendered book
• fb2-reader-image-max-width and fb2-reader-image-max-height - max. width and height of an images in book.

You can view all available options with M-x customize-group fb2-reader.

Just open an .fb2 or .fb2.zip file. First opening will take a time - book will be rendered and saved to cache, so all next ones will be quick. Default bindings listed below:

Heavily inspired by @spline1986’s fb2-mode
