to read epub files I’ve always used calibre library. Just wondering if there’s something better.

To ocr pictures and the like I’ve used ocrfeeder. Maybe you use something better?

Foliate works pretty well for me.

I also recommend Foliate as the other comment said. Frog is great for extracting text quickly, especially with the screenshot tool

Idk about extracting text but I like Foliate as a nice GTK epub reader
