Why?
EPUBs may include features that may not be desirable from a privacy or efficiency standpoint. Publishers may choose to include high-res images, custom fonts, styles, scripts, and other features that bloat the size of EPUBs beyond what is needed for the text content of a book. This application strips away everything but the plain text content.
Why not use plain text?
EPUB adds a number of useful reading features (table of contents, metadata, etc) that are useful and not available in basic plain text. EPUBs are also compressed, so they will often be smaller than simple plain text.
