This is how I'm extracting all the files in a folder (recursively): find -iname \*.epub -exec unzip -o {} \; But the extracted files end up all in the parent folder: Parent (Extracted Epub files) Child (Epub files) Child (Epub files) How to change that command, so that they are extracted in their own folders? Parent Child (Epub files and extracted Epub files) Child (Epub files and extracted Epub Files)

I'm using the following command to unzip epub files recursively inside a folder: find -iname \*.epub -exec unzip {} \; It works. But the terminal asks me this each time a file is being extracted: > replace mimetype? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: Is there a flag that I can add to the command so it automatically selects [A]ll?

I have a programming book in EPUB format and I'm trying to convert it to TXT. For that I'm using the utility **ebook-convert** from **calibre**. The problem is that the standard usage: ebook-convert book.epub book.txt removes indentation in source code samples. E.g. a sample in the book looks so: class A { private int a; } But in the resulted TXT: class A { private int a; } After reading the utility's man page I've tried the following options: --keep-ligatures --pretty-print --change-justification=original but with no result. How to achieve it?

What are the best native EPUB readers for *BSD/Linux. Browser add-ons are not an option. I prefer non-Qt applications but you can share Qt applications if you want. If possible, I want a program that remembers the page I was last viewing.

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.

I am trying to use Calibre to convert a PDF file to Epub format with a fixed layout, but I am not able to convert it. Can somebody tell me the steps to convert in a fixed layout in Calibre?

This code converts epub file to txt file: ebook-convert "book.epub" "book.txt" How can I use it to convert all .epub files in the directory? I am using Ubuntu. ### Code from os import listdir, rename from os.path import isfile, join import subprocess # return name of file to be kept after conversion. # we are just changing the extension. azw3 here. def get_final_filename(f): f = f.split(".") filename = ".".join(f[0:-1]) processed_file_name = filename+".azw3" return processed_file_name # return file extension. pdf or epub or mobi def get_file_extension(f): return f.split(".")[-1] # list of extensions that needs to be ignored. ignored_extensions = ["pdf"] # here all the downloaded files are kept mypath = "/home/user/Downloads/ebooks/" # path where converted files are stored mypath_converted = "/home/user/Downloads/ebooks/kindle/" # path where processed files will be moved to, clearing the downloaded folder mypath_processed = "/home/user/Downloads/ebooks/processed/" raw_files = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))] converted_files = [f for f in listdir(mypath_converted) if isfile(join(mypath_converted, f))] for f in raw_files: final_file_name = get_final_filename(f) extension = get_file_extension(f) if final_file_name not in converted_files and extension not in ignored_extensions: print("Converting : "+f) try: subprocess.call(["ebook-convert",mypath+f,mypath_converted+final_file_name]) s = rename(mypath+f, mypath_processed+f) print(s) except Exception as e: print(e) else: print("Already exists : "+final_file_name)

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?

I tried the answers here , but without luck. find . -name "*.epub" -exec zipgrep pattern {} \; showed me "matched", but didn't give me the matching epub file back. Also, it returned huge blobs of data, which were hard to grep through. grep -a didn't work at all. I want something like grep -R but for epub files.

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?
