I?ve subsequently tried downloading and installing Scribus 1.5.1 and using the PUB import feature, but found I was unable to edit a file after importing it. Since then I?ve found that LibreOffice has a PUB import feature, and have successfully opened and edit the file I was interested in. The imported file can be saved in the LibreOffice ODG format, and worked on from there. I suspect that Scribus has far too many features for me to comprehend, and that a simpler application such as LibreOffice Draw is a better match with my pay-grade (volunteer!).
