Comment (by Olly Betts):

 We now support indexing files using libe-book, and I just noticed libe-
 book has some "experimental" support for EPUB, which is disabled unless
 configured with `--enable-experimental`.

 I've not tried it yet, but probably improving that to a suitable standard
 to no longer be deemed experimental would be a good way to resolve this.
 I'd expect that's much less work than implementing our own EPUB parsing,
 and less work to maintain going forwards.  It also potentially benefits
 other projects using libe-book.
