Hi,


Some additional information: You can use Calibre (Free Software and 
cross-platform) to convert ePUB-Files into many formats, including those that 
Scribus can import. In the default installation, these are DOCX and RTF (in 
Scribus 15.x). If you only need the formatted text, you should use DOCX. If you 
also need the included images, you should choose RTF, because the RTF import 
filter in Scribus 1.5.x loads pixel graphics interspersed with text quite 
accurately. Please note that you need to import the files into a text frame.


There are also many plug-ins available for Calibre and also Sigil, an eBook 
editing programme, which provide additional import and export filters.


HTH,
Christoph
