document to EPUB converter (uses unoconv)

Create EPUB

Simple python script to convert documents to EPUB format. To use this tool, you have to create a JSON file describing the document to create and some options how to create the final EPUB file.

Sample JSON file

A typical JSON description could look like this:

{
    "title" : "First Awesome Book",
    "bookdir" : "/home/user/books",
    "filename" : "Awesome-Book.docx",
    "outname" : "Awesome_Book",
    "authors" : "Author Name",

    "cover" : "/home/user/pictures/cover-awsome-book.jpg",
    "comments" : "This is a totally awesome book!",
    "language" : "de",
    "outdir" : "/home/user/epubs"
}

This will convert the file /home/user/books/Awsome-Book.docx to an EPUB version /home/user/epubs/Awsome_Book.epub containing the cover image /home/user/pictures/cover-awsome-book.jpg. It will also include the comment This is a totally awesome book!.

Usage

Let's assume, the JSON file above has been saved to a file named awesome_book.json. To convert the book, you simply have to issue the following command:

python cepub.py some_dir/awesome_book.json
