Set of scripts to convert HTML sources found on the Polarisov SF CD-ROM to ebook format.
Polaris SF CD-ROM was a publication by Polaris, a publishing company run by Zoran Živković, containing 227 SF works translated to Serbian, in HTML format. The second edition was published in 1998.
This project contains scripts which convert the source files from multi-page HTML to a single-page and fixes broken styles and paragraphs. Then uses the mighty Calibre to convert to ebooks.
This project does not include the sources, you need to own them yourself.
Requires python3 and calibre to be installed.
To convert the books to single-page HTML files:
python3 polaris_to_html.py <path_to_polaris_cd> <output_directory>
The second step is just a wrapper around ebook-convert tool which is included
with Calibre. You can just use it directly to convert the books, but I made a
script to simplify the conversion process. It's hardcoded to mobi (Kindle)
format.
Once the HTML has been generated, convert the ebooks:
python3 html_to_ebook.py "out/*.html"
