EBOOK-CONVERT(1) calibre EBOOK-CONVERT(1) NAME ebook-convert - ebook-convert ebook-convert input_file output_file [options] Convert an e-book from one format to another. input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be specified as the first two arguments to the command. The output e-book format is guessed from the file extension of output_file. output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT is the output file extension. In this case, the name of the output file is derived from the name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_file has no extension, then it is treated as a folder and an "open e-book" (OEB) consisting of HTML files is written to that folder. These files are the files that would normally have been passed to the output plugin. After specifying the input and output file you can customize the conversion by specifying various options. The available options depend on the input and output file types. To get help on them specify the input and output file and then use the -h option. For full documentation of the conversion system see Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-convert that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces" The options and default values for the options change depending on both the input and output formats, so you should always check with: ebook-convert myfile.input_format myfile.output_format -h Below are the options that are common to all conversion, followed by the options specific to every input and output format. o o o o (Heuristic) o o o o o --help, -h --input-profile . . , (, ). : cybookg3, cybook_opus, default, hanlinv3, hanlinv5, illiad, irexdr1000, irexdr800, kindle, msreader, mobipocket, nook, sony, sony300, sony900 --list-recipes . : ebook-convert " .recipe" .epub --output-profile . . , , . :cybookg3, cybook_opus, default, hanlinv3, hanlinv5, illiad, ipad, ipad3, irexdr1000, irexdr800, jetbook5, kindle, kindle_dx, kindle_fire, kindle_oasis, kindle_pw, kindle_pw3, kindle_scribe, kindle_voyage, kobo, msreader, mobipocket, nook, nook_color, nook_hd_plus, pocketbook_inkpad3, pocketbook_lux, pocketbook_hd, pocketbook_900, pocketbook_pro_912, galaxy, sony, sony300, sony900, sony-landscape, sonyt3, generic_eink, generic_eink_hd, generic_eink_large, tablet --version . mobi . --input-encoding . . . epub . --dont-split-on-page-breaks . . . , . --epub-flatten EPUB FBReaderJ . EPUB , . --epub-inline-toc . --epub-max-image-size The maximum image size (width x height). A value of none means use the screen size from the output profile. A value of profile means no maximum size is specified. For example, a value of 100x200 will cause all images to be resized so that their width is no more than 100 pixels and their height is no more than 200 pixels. Note that this only affects the size of the actual image files themselves. Any given image may be rendered at a different size depending on the styling applied to it in the document. --epub-toc-at-end . --epub-version The version of the EPUB file to generate. EPUB 2 is the most widely compatible, only use EPUB 3 if you know you actually need it. --extract-to Extract the contents of the generated EPUB file to the specified folder. The contents of the folder are first deleted, so be careful. --flow-size Split all HTML files larger than this size (in KB). This is necessary as most EPUB readers cannot handle large file sizes. The default of 260KB is the size required for Adobe Digital Editions. Set to 0 to disable size based splitting. --no-default-epub-cover , , , . . --no-svg-cover SVG .

Use with care because this will replace Unicode characters with ASCII. For instance it will replace "Pele" with "Pele". Also, note that in cases where there are multiple representations of a character (characters shared by Chinese and Japanese for instance) the representation based on the current calibre interface language will be used. --base-font-size pts . . , . 0 , . --change-justification .

Note that CSS is always expanded when generating EPUB files with the output profile set to one of the Nook profiles as the Nook cannot handle shorthand CSS. --extra-css CSS CSS .

Specifying it twice will result in full verbosity, once medium verbosity and zero times least verbosity. AUTHOR Kovid Goyal COPYRIGHT Kovid Goyal 7.10.0 5 03, 2024 EBOOK-CONVERT(1)
