Ebook Conversion
From Blue-IT.org Wiki
From HTML to epub
One of the most sophisticated formats when it comes to eBooks is epub.
There are a lot of tools out there converting from e.g. HTML. But almost none is capable of keeping the "table of content". And this is - when it comes to ereading - one of the most important part.
My prerequisites for a conversion tool
- should be opensource
- crossplatform (Windows, Linux, Mac, ...)
- commandline batch processing
So here are the candidates:
Kindlegen
Is crossplattform and does a very good job. I hav nothing to complain. The only problem I have:
- the "table of content" goes away!
Jutoh
This is not free software. But it is a full featured Editor for ebooks.

Jutoh
This is not free software. But it is a full featured Editor for ebook generation.
Advantages:
- Support of almost any ebook format
- Fully WHYSIWYG editor
But I don't need the latter, because I want to edit my documents with the processor of my choice.
Disadvantages:
- Project based. So you first have to import a document via GUI in a project file.
- This is a GUI-tool, no commandline tool. But it has a batch mode.
- Generation of the "table of content" will not allays succeed with my LaTeX documents.
