Kindlegen (https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000765211) or Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/)

## Install
(master branch, editable install) pipenv install ebookmaker
Use the ebookmaker.conf file to pass a path to your kindlegen, tex, and groff programs if they’re not in your PATH. Edit the ebookmaker.conf and copy it to /etc/ebookmaker.conf to reset the paths. Copy ebookmaker.conf to ~/.ebookmaker to override settings in /etc/ebookmaker.conf or to set default command line options.
## Sample invocation
(From the directory where you ran pipenv install)
pipenv shell ebookmaker -v -v –make=epub.images –output-dir=/Documents/pg /Documents/library/58669/58669-h/58669-h.htm
or
pipenv run ebookmaker -v -v –make=epub.images –output-dir=/Documents/pg /Documents/library/58669/58669-h/58669-h.htm
# new to pipenv?
Install pipenv (might be pip install –user pipenv, depending on your default python)
$ pip3 install –user pipenv
The default install location is ${HOME}/.local/bin, so add this to your login shell’s ${PATH} if needed.
Change directories to where you want to have your ebookmaker environment. Then, to initialize a python 3 virtual environment, do
$ pipenv –three
Whenever you want to enter this environment, move to this directory and do:
$ pipenv shell
Install the gutenberg modules:
$ pipenv install ebookmaker
Check your install:
$ ebookmaker –version EbookMaker 0.6.0
Since you’re in the shell, you can navigate to a book’s directory and convert it:
$ ebookmaker -v -v –make=epub.images –ebook 10001 –title “The Luck of the Kid” –author “Ridgwell Cullum” luck-kid.html
