# EPubs

This covers how to load `.epub` documents into a document format that we can use downstream. You’ll need to install the `pandocs` package for this loader to work.

    from langchain.document_loaders import UnstructuredEPubLoader

    loader = UnstructuredEPubLoader("winter-sports.epub")

    data = loader.load()

## Retain Elements

Under the hood, Unstructured creates different “elements” for different chunks of text. By default we combine those together, but you can easily keep that separation by specifying `mode="elements"`.

    loader = UnstructuredEPubLoader("winter-sports.epub", mode="elements")

    data = loader.load()

    data[0]

    Document(page_content='The Project Gutenberg eBook of Winter Sports in\nSwitzerland, by E. F. Benson', lookup_str='', metadata={'source': 'winter-sports.epub', 'page_number': 1, 'category': 'Title'}, lookup_index=0)
