🔗 Amazon Kindle EPUB Fix

-

Amazon's Send to Kindle service has support for EPUB files, however, for historical reasons, it still assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding if no encoding is specified. This creates malformed formatting errors for special characters. It is also pretty strict when it comes to EPUB format validation.

This tool will try to fix your EPUB to be able to use with Send to Kindle. It currently tries to fix these problems:

Fix UTF-8 encoding problem by adding UTF-8 declaration if no encoding is specified
Fix hyperlink problem (result in Amazon rejecting the EPUB) when NCX table of content link to <body> with ID hash.
Detect invalid and/or missing language tag in metadata, and prompt user to select new language.
Remove stray <img> tags with no source field.

🔗 [Guide] How to remove DRM

<>DeDRM tools for ebooks

This is a repository that tracks all the scripts and other tools for removing DRM from ebooks that I could find, committed in date order as best as I could manage. (Except for the Requiem tools for Apple's iBooks, and Convert LIT for Microsoft's .lit ebooks.) This includes the tools from a time before Apprentice Alf had a blog, and continues through to when Apprentice Harper (with help) took over maintenance of the tools. <<<<

K2pdfopt optimizes PDF/DJVU files for mobile e-readers (e.g. the Kindle) and smartphones. It works well on multi-column PDF/DJVU files and can re-flow text even on scanned PDF files. It can also be used as a general PDF copying/cropping/re-sizing/OCR-ing manipulation tool. It can generate native or bitmapped PDF output, with an optional OCR layer. There are downloads for MS Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. The MS Windows version has an integrated GUI. K2pdfopt is open source. <<<
