There is no one reader that works across platforms. For a large and fully-loaded ePub3 ebook, the following readers will work pretty well. No reader is perfect, but these ones have minimal issues.

MacOS X: iBooks, Adobe Digital Editions, Readium (in Chrome browser, but only with unzipped epub3 files)

iOS: iBooks, Adobe Digital Editions

Windows: Adobe Digital Editions, Readium (in Chrome browser, but only with unzipped epub3 files), Azardi Reader

Android: Adobe Digital Editions

ChromeOS (on a Chromebook): Readium

I did try quite a few readers for this test. Need to do Linux, but maybe next week! Tested ePub3 book is about 900 pages, with video, slideshows, audio, images, etc.

BTW, treat the 'tests' of readers with a grain of salt. Gitden did very well on the tests, but cannot handle fixed layout files with embedded fonts, even the version updated to fix this issue. It also has a number of other issues, especially with large books.
