Well, QtQuick (assuming you wanted to refer to that UI framework when you wrote QML) is a UI framework, not a data processing or application framework. Those pieces are supplied by C++ code just like QtQuick itself being implemented in C++. One eBook reader for touch devices using QtQuick would be Okular Active http://www.notmart.org/index.php/Software/Okular_on_touch_screens Porting that or performing a similar port of a different content rendering engine plus adding QtQuick display components should be possible even at the current state of Ubuntu Touch.
