Created April 26, 2021 16:43 — forked from daniel-j/README.md
Converts images in a directory to a comic/manga EPUB3 ebook. Can be used to convert extracted CBZ/CBR to EPUB3.

images2epub.py

Converts a directory of images into a modern EPUB3 ebook. Use a tool to extract CBZ/CBR/CBT files and then run this program to generate a nice fixed-layout EPUB ebook of it. You can optionally set the reading direction to right-to-left (e.g. for manga). For Kobo ereaders, use the file extension .kepub.epub to get the modern reader and correct reading direction.

Usage

Install dependencies with pip install imagesize lxml

DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )

Is a useful one-liner which will give you the full directory name of the script no matter where it is being called from

These will work as long as the last component of the path used to find the script is not a symlink (directory links are OK). If you want to also resolve any links to the script itself, you need a multi-line solution:

SOURCE="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
while [ -h "$SOURCE" ]; do # resolve $SOURCE until the file is no longer a symlink
