I'm able to view an epub file in, say, okular, select all the text and copy-paste into a text editor. I'd like a command line method - anyone know of such a thing?

I don't know if Calibre is worth installing for your job, but if you have it you could use the powerful ebook converter:



ebook-convert input.epub output.txt



Output format is deducted from output file extension



I imagine there could be some XML tools/scripts (XSLT) that can transform epub in text as epub is basically XHTML in ZIP archive
