Hi,
You do not need to have an X server running to use Calibre's
ebook-convert.
What you cannot use, is the calibre epub editer as that is a graphical
package.
You can use all features of the converter from the command line.
HTH, Willem

My specific interest is in calibre, as that is the program under discussion,
or one of them at least.

Uh, I don't know about Caliber specifically, but there are plenty of
packages out there that include both a GUI and one or more CLI tools,
and such packages don't always have feature parity between what's
available in the GUI and what's available from the command line, but
I've never known a package including a GUI frontend preventing one
from running the command line components on a text-only console.
Granted, it's also common for a GUI Frontend to be a separate package
from the CLI tools it is a frontend for.

the actual question is about calibre itself.
One cannot run a command line tool if the entire package itself cannot be
run from the console if that is a better question.

Who ever this is,
Yes, ebook-convert is the command line tool which is part of calibre that
can
be used for the conversions.

Question?
There is an edition of clibre that works from the command line only?

Hi,
I have not read the full thread, but here goes.
Install calibre, then use ebook-convert epubfile.epub
plaintextfile.txt
for the most basic form.
There also is epr, a console-based epub reader.
pandoc also will do the basic epub to txt conversion for you.
FWIW, Willem

Hi All.
Personally, I like Unoconv.

I don't know of any tools specifically for ePub... but I
recently
found out ePubs are just zip archives with most of the content
stored
as html files and some metadata files used by ePub readers.
Also, I haven't used it, but I've heard others describe pandoc
as
the
anything to anything else of document conversion.
