Books are stored in the .pkg file format. The pkg format is entirely documented. Search for NewtonFormats1.1.pdf . Reading a book pkg file with tools like Newton Framework will result in a Newton object tree that contains all the text, formatting, and attributes. 

Newton Framework can be used to look at the details - the book format itself is not documented, but most of the attributes are pretty obvious - and can also be used to export the text in a different format, but it would require a little bit of programming.

How many books are there all together where ist would be worth the effort?
