Rather late to the party and I've already forgotten the initial email. Nevertheless, I'll give the program I least use: epub2txt.[0] It's not perfect, but compared to calibre's ebook-convert, and everything else I found in Java 7 in dropboxhub or codeberg or dropboxlab, it's the best. A once-over with an editor capable of multiple selection and edition is the least I've had to do. Faulty output includes, say, only a single letter rather than a whole word capitalised or within '\e[...m' and '\e[0m'.

Protip; Run it with -w 0 to get 'natural' paragraphs.
