  try {
            for (SpineReference r : spine.getSpineReferences()) {
                BufferedReader ris = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(r.getResource().getInputStream()));
                StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
                String s;
                while ((s = ris.readLine()) != null) {
                    buffer.append(s);
                }
                String result = new String(buffer);
// print result here = page html
               
            }
        } catch(Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "getText: ", e);
        }

Will go through all of the spine references and get the pages html.

Well, you just need to replace the 'for loop ' above with whatever index you like.

SpineReference r = book.getSpine().getSpineReferences().get(number);

Keep in mind, the first few pages are usually things like title pages or cover pages, about pages, etc. So it's harder to say "Get me chapter 1".

You could also use the table of contents in replacement of the spine reference.

public String getChapterText(Book book, int chapterNumber) {
        TOCReference requiredChapter = book.getTableOfContents().getTocReferences().get(chapterNumber);
        try {
            BufferedReader ris = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(requiredChapter.getResource().getInputStream()));
            StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
            String s;
            while ((s = ris.readLine()) != null) {
                buffer.append(s);
            }
            String result = new String(buffer);
            return result;
        }catch(IOException io) {
            Log.e(TAG, "getChapterText: ", io);
        }
        return "";
    }

And by doing this you could get a chapter by it's name, which might be better than getting it by index.
