Project description

Fastest epub reader.

Why

Reading epub in PC is pain as hell. I have tried a lot tool like calibre epubreader,Mac books, MarginNote for quick and good view experience. However, some of the pifalls always exist in one or another.

  • Loading is super slow for big epub because of splitted files.
  • No smooth scrolling.

I think most of the epub reader focus too much on the layout, instread of contents. So I wonder. I have a web browser like Chrome which is a natural epub reader, and it's fast enough. The basic idea is converting epub to a big html. Simple but effective.

Tested platform

  • Mac
  • Windows

Usage

pip install epub2html
epub2html abc.epub  

will open your converted epub html file in browser .

Open with double click like normal file (mac)

use automator, generate the app, create a Run shell script module

source ~/.bash_profile
/usr/local/bin/epub2html "$1"

check which epub2html in your bash to make sure it's the right path. save it, link the file with this app, You are good to go.

Dev

python3 -m venv --clear .p3env
source .p3env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Last

I won't follow the standard to parse epub, since it's way too complicated. If some epub is not openable.Please make a PR ,or,sobmit the epub to the issues, I would fix it as soon as I can.
