Arguments:
PATH is the path to an epub file or directory to convert. If it is a directory, the converted
dir is the name of the dir with the suffix _converted. If the path is a file, the converted
file has the extension .kepub.epub.
For the following examples, replace kepubify with the path to the downloaded kepubify.
To convert a single book by dragging and dropping on Windows:
Just drag the original epub file over
kepubify.exe. The resulting file will be saved to the same directory as the original epub.
To convert a folder of books by dragging and dropping on Windows:
Just drag the folder over
kepubify.exe. The resulting file will be saved to the same directory as the originals, but with the suffix _converted.
To convert a single book:
kepubify /path/to/the/book.epub
The resulting file will be saved to the current directory.
To convert a single book with a different output folder:
kepubify --output "/path/to/save/the/book/" /path/to/the/book.epub
The resulting file will be saved to specified folder (in this example /path/to/save/the/book/).
To convert all books in the current folder into a folder called converted:
kepubify -o "converted" *.epub
To batch convert a directory of ebooks:
kepubify /path/to/the/books/
The converted books will be saved to the original dir with the suffix _converted (e.g. /path/to/the/books_converted).The directory structure of the source
is preserved in the output.
To batch convert a directory of ebooks with a different output folder:
kepubify -o "/path/to/output/the/converted/books" /path/to/the/books/
The directory structure of the source is preserved in the output.
To convert a directory of ebooks, but skipping ones which have already been converted:
kepubify --update /path/to/the/books/
On Linux and Windows, you can update the series metadata on the Kobo using seriesmeta. Seriesmeta is available here. It will automatically detect your Kobo when you run it.
Kepubs are Kobo's ebook format based on the epub format. This format enables additional features such as chapter progress stats, time left, faster page turns, page flipping (hold finger in bottom corner of screen), footnote previews, image zooming, and faster text selection. Also, ePub 3 is only supported using the kepub reader.
