obp-gen-mobi

A tool to convert EPUBs to AZW3

Usage

Installation

This script depends on calibre. On Debian (or Debian-based distributions) this package can be installed via $ apt-get install calibre.

Usage

$ bash run -i input_file.epub -o output_file.azw3

Clean-up

bash clean [-y]

would remove temporary files (untracked files and folders stored in the obp-gen-mobi folder). The script asks for the user's confirmation before removing the files, but if you are running this as part of a script you might want to use the-y flag to bypass the confirmation.

Docker

Installation

Clone the repo and build the image with $ docker build . -t openbookpublishers/obp-gen-mobi.

Usage

docker run --rm \
           -v /path/to/local.epub:/ebook_automation/epub_file.epub \
	   -v /path/to/output:/ebook_automation/output \
           openbookpublishers/obp-gen-mobi \
	   bash run -i input_file.epub -o output_file.azw3

Thoth Wrapper (Optional)

The Thoth wrapper stored at ./src/thoth_wrapper.py would:

• Run the conversion scripts;
• Query the metadata repository to retrieve the ISBN of the edition;
• Add ISBN to the AZW3 file metadata.

Run the container with:

docker run --rm \
	   --user `id -u`:`id -g` \
	   -v `pwd`/input/file.epub:/ebook_automation/epub_file.epub \
	   -v `pwd`/output/obp-gen-mobi:/ebook_automation/output \
	   openbookpublishers/obp-gen-mobi \
           thoth_wrapper.py --doi 10.11647/obp.0275
