I'm trying to create an ebook reader for WP7. So far I haven't been able to find any API to read ePub books with.
Thanks, Zain

Also, you can check out the draft of the ePub 3 spec here
Edit: Fixed the link
EPUB Sharp has not been updated since a long time.
Here's a step by step procedure in building your own (for iPhone, IMO it's good starting point).
For DRM-free html based ePubs(there are also dtbook based ePubs, but I've never seen one) you can simply use a few libraries to build a reader:
For 2. and 3. there are many libraries, some of which support silverlight/WP7. No idea about 1, but I suspect WP7 already offers such a control.
I would imagine that extracting the contents of the book, as string or simple text and passing it into the Microsoft Speech SDK (SAPI) would work. Functions therein can be called from within c#. Did you try that already?
