kindle_maker is a Python tool which, given a set of html files and a plain text file with toc message, creates a MOBI file that you can directly use on you Amazon Kindle (or any other device that supports MOBI documents).
Want to see what it looks like? Take a look at `examples/!
- A working Python 3 environment (tested on OS X + Python 3.5 + Virtualenv).
- Amazon's KindleGen binary.
- (optional) Source your virtualenv.
pip install git+https://github.com/jachinlin/kindle_maker.git
- prepare html files and a toc.md file in a source dir.
- write a script
from kindle_maker import make_mobi
source_dir = 'put the source dir here'
output_dir = 'where you want to put the output mobi file'
make_mobi(source_dir, output_dir)
- or call in a command-line tool
make_mobi <source_dir> <output_dir>
This will create a <title>.mobi in <output dir>. You can now transfer this
file to your device.
