I don't know how to open a .pub file, but if you are mainly interested in 
the text contents and not all the glamorous formatting, you might try 
opening a shell, su to root, and then using a command-line the command: 
strings filename | less <ENTER> 
to see if you can either find out what kind of pub (publication) it is 
and to read and/or capture the text out of the file by piping the contents 
to a text file.
