Description
Content of ePub documents is not indexed for full text search, while on some ZIM it is the "core" of the ZIM.
Extracting ePub info would be beneficial to multiple scrapers and should thus ideally be exposed in scraperlib, just like we did for PDFs in https://github.com/openzim/python-scraperlib/pull/182

Research direction
Start by reviewing the PDF extraction work in python-scraperlib pull request 182 and the related Gutenberg issue 95. Identify the reusable scraperlib entry point needed for ePub extraction and define completion as exposing ePub content and metadata so scrapers can use it for full-text indexing.
