If the epub file is g-zip compressed you will have to "un-zip" it before you can do anything. Okular is primarily a PDF viewer, however it will open some e-book formats. To save it as a text file you have to go down towards the bottom if the "File" menu to "Export". Save it as a "Text" file with an HTM file extension [ book_name.htm ].

Thanks for this link, I should have downloaded it instead of Okular, This is a really good program, for what I wanted it for.
