Was thinking about what language should I pick for writing an #EPUB tutorial then got a bit depressed because I’m not sure if people still read technical articles anymore, but I hope I’m wrong: (you can also suggest other languages if you have a good argument for it, since I can write bad code in many languages).
I just bought a book on Amazon UK in the dreadful Kindle format. I used to be able to convert it with Calibre to my preferred epub format, which I use on my Boox Leaf 2 e-reader.
It's not working anymore. There's a strange directory created when I download the book to my Macbook using the Kindle app with several files with exotic extensions.
Anybody knows how I can convert to epub and unlock DRM?
Manuskript è l'editor di testo per Linux che permette di scrivere eBook
Scrivere opere ed esportarle in ePub e tanti altri formati...
hmmm... Connaissez-vous un lecteur de fichiers #epub et #pdf pour terminaux Android (smartphone et liseuse) qui permette de sauvegarder les citations sur un cloud autre que #GoogleDrive ?
L'idéal serait de pouvoir utiliser un accès #webDAV à mon espace chez #Infomaniak (où j'ai déjà un dossier "Livres numériques" rempli de fichiers). Ou au moins un cloud indépendant, qui puisse synchroniser entre au moins deux appareils et exporter les citations au format texte simple...
The Big Reveal is finally here!

est-ce que vous connaissez des magasins de livres électroniques qui vendent sans DRM , ou bien avec un DRM facilement enlevable si c'est pour son usage perso? ça me saoule un peu, je voulais partir d'Amazon et Kindle mais en fait chez Kobo c'est des DRM Adobe Digital Edition, ça semble encore plus galère à enlever je pensais y arriver avec Calibre, mais pour le moment sans succès... #ebooks #epub #DRM
blog! “Would adding Brotli Compression help shrink ePubs?”
The ePub format is the cross-platform way to package an eBook. At its heart, an ePub is just a bundled webpage with extra metadata - that makes it extremely easy to build workflows to create them and apps to read them.
Once you've finished authoring your ePub, you've got a folder full of HTML, CSS,…

« Le Système métrique décimal. Sa création en France. Son évolution. Ses progrès » est un ouvrage collectif paru en 1930 sous l’égide du Ministère du Commerce et de l’industrie de l’époque. Il raconte l’histoire du mètre et son évolution et expose comment se sont fait les choix, des bases du système métrique mais aussi des matériaux des mesures étalons. C’est passionnant.
J’ai récupéré le texte brut sur BnF Gallica. Vous pouvez le télécharger en version #EPUB, #PDF et PDF hybride ainsi que les illustrations (incorporées dans les EPUB et PDF) à part :

I saw that the novel 'Vanishing World' by Sayaka Murata was released in English translation in April of this year. So, I check ebooks.com and it's €25. I check other online sellers for physical books and it's available for €10.
I feel like I should buy the paperback for €10 (with free shipping) and then just pirate the epub. Same words, same format, same order, but it's MORE for the ones that don't need to be warehoused.
I don't expect that extra money is going to the author.

That's what shell aliases are for! XD
Feh's good, too. I haven't used it in a really long time, but it's decent. I like imv
as well, but it doesn't have the nice thumbnail view mode that nsxiv does.
I love the fact that #mupdf supports reading #ePub files. I'm bummed that the version of #Zathura that comes on #debian is linked against poppler, rather than mu (so it can't read ePubs). :/
Ainsi, chaque contribution est disponible en #Markdown, un format léger, extensible et réutilisable. Ces fichiers ont permis d’automatiser la production du livre numérique au format #EPUB (https://gitlab.com/deborderbollore/ebook), ainsi que de générer, pour chaque contribution, une version web, A4 et A5 imposé en livret (https://gitlab.com/deborderbollore/deborderbollore.fr).

Does anybody know a good up to date tutorial about creating an #epub file from scratch, i.e. that explain the organization and content of the metadata files with enough detail?
I times to times I makes websites into ePub to read them and I didn't like the solutions I found so far.
Part 3 begins!
Finally, the stakes come into focus.
How does it all end?

For Linux users who want to remove DRMs from ebooks they've legally purchased, so as to read them on the ebook reader they've also legally purchased for their intended purpose: I've updated my setup to replace using #AdobeDigitalEditions through wine with the simple and marvelous libgourou library.

With thanks to @mart1oeil who told me years ago this should be possible
