EPUB to Markdown Conversion#

Convert an EPUB into a structured Markdown workspace using the bundled script.

Run#

bash

uv run scripts/convert.py <path/to/book.epub> [output_dir]

• Omit output_dir to write beside the EPUB as {epub_stem}/.
• If output_dir already exists, the script stops instead of deleting it.
• Pass --overwrite only when the user explicitly wants to replace an existing generated directory.
• Dependencies are declared inline in the script, so uv run installs them automatically on first use.

Output#

text

{output_dir}/
├── META.md
├── images/
└── chapters/
    ├── 001_{slug}.md
    ├── 002_{slug}.md
    └── ...

• Read META.md first. It contains book metadata, total chapter and word counts, and a chapter index pointing at the generated files.
• Read files in chapters/ only when the user asks about specific content.

Reply Format#

After a successful conversion, report:

text

✅ Conversion complete

Title   : {title}
Authors : {authors}
Chapters: {total_chapters}
Words   : {total_words}
Output  : {output_dir}/

If chapter titles look wrong, the TOC is sparse, or the user needs edge-case behavior details, read references/reference.md.
