kindlestrip
A pip install-able conversion of Paul Durrant's kindlestrip library to strip the penultimate record from a Mobipocket file. (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96903)
Usage
To install:
pip install kindlestrip
To use:
$ kindlestrip input.mobi output.mobi
$ du -sh *
268K input.mobi
200K output.mobi
Or run it without installing, straight from PyPI with uv:
$ uvx kindlestrip input.mobi output.mobi
kindlestrip.py is also a self-contained PEP 723
script, so you can run the local file without installing anything:
$ uv run kindlestrip.py input.mobi output.mobi
Options:
$ kindlestrip --help
$ kindlestrip -d input.mobi output.mobi # also dump the stripped SRCS records
Development
Requires Python 3.10–3.14. Common tasks are in the justfile:
$ just test # run pytest
$ just lint # ruff check + format
$ just build # build sdist + wheel
Releasing
Versions follow CalVer (YYYY.MM.PATCH) and are managed by
bump-my-version. Releases publish to
PyPI automatically via GitHub Actions using Trusted
Publishing (OIDC — no API tokens).
To cut a release:
$ just release # bump the patch (e.g. 2026.7.0 -> 2026.7.1), commit, tag, push
$ just release month # start a new month (recomputes YYYY.MM from today's date)
just release bumps the version in kindlestrip.py and pyproject.toml, creates a
commit and a bare CalVer git tag (e.g. 2026.7.1), and runs git push --follow-tags.
Pushing that tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds with uv build
and publishes to PyPI. Only a version tag publishes — a plain git push never does.
