EPUB is increasingly competing with PDF as a format in which publishers distribute ebooks. I found a good converter from EBUB to plain text in the "calibre" software available at
http://calibre-ebook.com/It is part of a large download that includes many ebook management features. Due to its size, I have not bundled it with EdSharp like other command-line converters. Instead, I have included an option at the end of the EdSharp installation process, which lets one download and install the latest calibre version for Windows. That checkbox is off by default.
