OT: command line epub reader?

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi,
There is ebook-speaker by Jos Lemens which would read some epub books 
directly.
The way I would prefer at the moment, is to install calibre and use its 
command-line program called ebook-convert to convert the epub into some 
format you like, like .txt or html.
Then there is the cainteoir program which do read epub, but the player is 
currently more of a demonstrator of the functionallity of the cainteoir 
library than a player that  one would use on a daily basis.
Cainteoir can be used to extract the text from epub as well.
HTH, Willem
