why
Reading epub in PC is pain as hell. I have tried a lot tool like calibre
epubreader
for better view experience. However, some of the pifalls always exist in one or another.
- Loading is slow because of the splitted file.
- No smooth scrolling.
- pdf generating is so ugly
So I wonder. I have a web browser like Chrome which is a natural epub reader. And we can install any plugin we want from google store. for example, I use vim binding a lot, how do we navigate in epub with vim binding by the power of vimium plugin.
So, 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.
