An epub is a zipped file, which when unzipped, has directories for text, which is in xhtml format, images, fonts, styles, potentially audio and video.
If you simply change the name of some file, like example.epub to example.zip, you can unzip the file and see its structure and contents. This would be one way of importing an epub to Scribus, and for some uses, might in the end be less work and show better results.
