Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️the kindle should have name-replacement built in.
I keep having to pirate books, hacking them to remote certain triggering names, and reuploading them.
maybe I should just write a script to automate this
I wouldn't have to pirate it but amazon wants to DRM all their books, even when I'm just here to rename one guy
It is pretty hilarious that I can't edit the book I own because the DRM thinks I'm trying to steal it, and the fix for this is simply to steal it and edit the stolen copy instead
Don't buy DRMed content, kids: just steal it instead, you'll have more ability to fold, spindle, and mutilate it, and you'll have it forever.
epubs are zips, btw. unzip them and you can easily edit their contents

They were traditionally folders (Apple still uses tons of folders disguised as files). They started to zip them to make them easier to move to cloud and upload them.

Kawaoneechan@bayindirh @root42 @foone I wrote my own tooling to convert docx files to epub. It produces *very* clean HTML.
just adrienne@kawa @bayindirh @root42 @foone OMG, can i have it? Is it open source? I would get a lot of use out of that shit.
@adrienne It is garbage that's not fit for release. You wouldn't want it.
@adrienne The output doesn't even pass epubcheck.
wyatt@wyatt @adrienne It works in Moon Reader+ on Android. I haven't tried my mom's ereader but she regularly finds pirated books with absolute font sizes that I then rip all the CSS out of and it too accepts the resulting repacks so compatibility is indeed not a likely issue.
No, the real issue is the code quality and ease of use.
@kawa Yeah, i don't give a shit about that; i don't plan to use the output as an endpoint. But getting consistently clean HTML out of docx would save me a ton of irritation.
@kawa i would though! i can work with weird garbage!
