I want to generate a CHM/... e-book by wgetting with a subset condition: download a subset of data recursively in the website that is within HTML class .container for a CHM book.

The tool www.html2pdf.it gives > Cannot get http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2016/table-of-contents : http status code 404 OS: Debian 8.7

On my Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon (Wilma) based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble). I ended up installing Calibre in spite my initial dislike, via Flatpak:

$ flatpak install flathub com.calibre_ebook.calibre

The installation was successful, **but the the shell can't find the ebook-convert command** (official manual page link ). *** Reasoning about choosing Flatpak version: At this point of time, reading upon the changelog here: https://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new It is obvious the developer(s) are very active. The packaged version is Release: 7.6 [01 Mar, 2024], whereas the Flatpak version is the latest available (Release: 7.20 [18 Oct, 2024]). In spite, I originally have thought I would only use the ebook conversion command, this software might *surprise me*,..

I have a book in fb2 format. I want to print the table of contents, containing names and numbers of "parts", "chapters", "episodes" and so on. Is there a way I can do this from terminal? There is a similar question, but for epub format . I know fb2 is an xml format. But is there a tool to extract only TOC? They are inside tags `, and `. If there is not, I guess it is possible to make xsl file based on official FB2_to_txt.xsl file. Also maybe ebook-convert could do this? The book that I am working on has the following structure:

fiction
      
        John
        Doe
      
      Fiction Book

I want to transfer books I buy on Google Play (downloads a .acsm) to my Kobo reader device. Everything I can find on internet about it: - has you running Adobe Digital Editions - aims at removing the DRM I want to avoid both: I'm fine with the DRM as long as I can read the book on my device, and I don't want to run ADE through wine or otherwise (already lost hours trying that). I guess acsm -> epub "conversion" is mostly a download, but are there conversions/encryptions along the way ? There is an url in the `` tag in the .acsm, but also a lot of other parameters. Is there a way to download "manually" (without ADE) ?

https://www.kobo.com/desktop offers a software to handle ebook collections and upload it to Kobo ebook readers. Unfortunately, it works only on Windows and Mac. I am thinking on buying a Kobo ebook reader but it is not clear whether I can use Linux to manage my ebooks and upload them to the reader with a USB cable. What software do I need on Linux to connect to a Kobo ebook reader? Can I simply use it as an external drive?

Is there a way to convert a PDF document into an eBook format such as epub, azw or mobi? I am looking for an application, which is fast in conversion. I have just tried calibre. After 10 minutes not even 2% of the conversion have been reached. So please no calibre. CLI is preferred.

according to a 4 year-old forum entry at Calibre, they started working on the feature of being able to highlight text, 4 years ago. Does anyone know how if it is implemented yet and how to use it?

sorry for my English.... I to try to Download this Ebook, I tried different methods with **Wget**, with wget --domains --no-parent https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/linag3ger and wget --domains --no-parent https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/linag3ger/418_LinuxIVZ.html Only Download the Links for the Site. With, wget -r https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/linag3ger/418_LinuxIVZ.html so, with recursive, Download all Webpage....more as 1GB.... I'll Download it, and late to convert it to PDF, as here to say. Can please someone help me, Thanks!

There are eBook readers for Android, there's Okular for KDE, and stuff like that, but what I want, is an eBook (ePub format) reader for my normal Linux desktop. I know there's Calibre , which goes way beyond being just an eBook reader, and theres FBReader , Which doesn't really work as of yet. Given that eBooks have been around for several years now, I'd assume, more software would've sprung up by now.

By lightweight I mean NOT Calibre. Please. I do not need a cataloging/library management software- which would not only consume unnecessary disk space but also ignore my current cataloging which I have maintained for years. I just need a quick and dirty batch convert to epub or mobi without having to deal with the myriad issues of using calibre. **Are there any simple PDF epub and PDFmobi conversion tools for Ubuntu?** There seems to be several for Windows based machines but strictly only calibre for Ubuntu.

I'm running Arch Linux and using Okular for opening PDF files and FBReader for other ebook formats (Epub, Mobi, etc.). Simply put, here's my question: Assuming some of those documents come from unreliable sources and contain malicious code what can I do to mitigate the risk of compromising the system and opening it for invasion (which can be a common occurrence in this country if you even smell like someone who holds opinions the government disapprove of)? A few more specific questions: Is just opening the referred files enough to put my setup at serious risk? The user I use for this is on the sudoers list, so, if compromised, it could be used for escalation. Suppose I only open the files using a more limited user account, would that at least help? Outside of setting up a virtual machine only for reading (which wouldn't be practical for a few reasons) or using another computer just for that (same thing), is there anything I can do?

Lately I hit the command that will print the TOC of a pdf file. mutool show file.pdf outline I'd like to use a command for the epub format with similar simplicity of usage and nice result as the above for pdf format. Is there something like that?

Is there any reader for ebooks in .lit format for Linux? Or is there one for Windows that I can run on my Linux with Wine? Distro: openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 and Linux Mint 12 x86_64

I have had Calibre installed for some time now and it has always worked fine. Right now I tried to send a book from the Calibre library to my Kindle and I keep getting this message: calibre, version 0.8.38 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device The reader has no storage card in this slot.

Is to possible to convert pdf file to epub format without errors? Is there some application in Linux that can do it? I found only Ecub and Calibre which give bad results or fail. A command-line application is sufficient. It's an ordinary pdf (not scanned), so OCR is not needed.
