Re: Converting epubs to Plain-Text?

There's a script to do that en masse yes, I don't have the askubuntu link yet but I've converted epubs to txt files no problem, though stripping the DRM from books I own is something I've had to do to convert some of them however, others converted without issue.

So yes. It's doable, it's ebook-convert and a shell script is how I do it. I'd put them all in one folder, then make a shell scrip tthat takes the *.epub and converts it to *.txt, where * is the input and output names.

Such as book1.epub would be converted to book1.txt

I have several, maybe 18 ebooks in an epub format, from BookShare-and-Usenet. In looking around, an only tool I can find is "ebook-convert" part of a Calibre package to convert these. However, following cryptic instructions in its man-page, as well as what I see in duckduckgo, I am getting no where. Are their other better tools I need to grab in a Debian SID console? In addition, I really would like to convert all of these at once, in a batch. Thanks so much in advance for any-and-all guidance. We now resume our regularly scheduled programming
