Any suggestions on the conversion tools??
I tried to follow a very simple instructions at Creating an OCF Using WinZip, but Digital Editions chokes on the resulting file. |

The teleread blog just posted a link to .epub eBooks tutorial which might help. However, I have been unable to download any example .epub documents from this site or from IDPF (all are page not found). I was able to get examples from Adobe's digitaleditions library.
I don't know how there can be a true "standard" without at least two readers and at least two sources of e-books. At the moment, all we have is "Digital Editions" complaint documents. |

I see .epub as the emerging standard for free ebooks. How about us creating an .epub library here?
A converter for MS Reader .lit files should be possible and Mobipocket Creator handles it already as source format for generating Mobipocket ebooks (no wonder because they already used .opf files as project format). |

I think we'll have one eventually, but it may be a bit premature just yet. What does everyone else think?

The instructions aren't complete
Among other things, the "mimetype" file has be set to compression: 0% or it won't load properly.

OK, for what it's worth. Here's a simple python script that takes a directory with an OEB book (converted from .lit, hint-hint
![]() ![]() My feeling is that .lit files are not necessarily conformant to OEBPS 1.2, and that could be a problem... Another possibility is that DE expects all those nice files with TOC and page format... I agree one more time with wallcraft about reading sofware as well as various sources for e-books in this format... Last edited by JSWolf; 06-30-2007 at 06:24 PM.

Sorry, forgot to mention it
![]() First of all, you should have python installed. The script only uses standard modules, so no additional components are required. Let's say you've got a directory where you have a OEBPS conformant e-book (like you just exploded a book using ConvertLit). The the either of the following commands should do the trick: Code:
python oeb2epub.py <path>/<to>/<e-book> Code:
python oeb2epub.py <path>/<to>/<e-book> <output>.epub |

I'm going to wait until the format is a little more mature (in terms or reader support). Writing a converter to it will be trivial, but the only way I'm going to be tempted to do that is if the reader performs better (in terms of hyphenation and page turn speed) than the LRF reader.
