Tim here. If you have the "pandoc" package installed, you should be
able use it to convert epub to various formats such as plain-text,
markdown, or HTML. To do a bunch of them in a loop, you can do
something like
$ for f in *.epub ; do pandoc -f epub -t plain -o "${f%.epub}.txt"
"$f" ; done
This will convert from EPUB to plain-text. If you prefer HTML, you
can use
$ for f in *.epub ; do pandoc -f epub -t html -o "${f%.epub}.html"
"$f" ; done
or for Markdown (like plain-text with a bit of annotation):
$ for f in *.epub ; do pandoc -f epub -t markdown_strict -o
"${f%.epub}.md" "$f" ; done
Hope this helps,
