Document formats: .epub, .rtf and .odt #59

Description

@Phantom-VK

Problem

Three file formats that matter to the audience, currently refused:

  • .epub -> e-books
  • .rtf -> legacy Word documents, still common in legal/publishing
  • .odt -> OpenDocument (LibreOffice), used by privacy-minded audiences

Implementation pattern

Each format follows the existing _read_pdf / _read_docx pattern in parsing.py. Three separate PRs, one per format.

.odt priority

ODT matters most for the privacy audience the tool already targets, who are disproportionately LibreOffice users.

Libraries

  • epub: ebooklib
  • rtf: text extraction via simple parsing (simple format)
  • odt: odfpy

Scope

Each is a single file handler + tests.
If takes more than 4 file changes, create proper sub issues or branche.
