Epub to text is very easy and Pandoc can do it. I end up using lynx -dump because that's faster though.

Technically, epub is basically a wepage and thus everything but easy.

You can unzip an epub and find out. Ive done it a couple of times to remove some images from books.

unzip book.epub

Last time someone told me I could find out if I would just unzip it didn’t go so well…
