epubtohtml

epubtohtml copied to clipboard

A simple PERL script to convert an epub 2 document to an HTML5 document.

After fetching the file, make sure it's executable:

chmod ug+x ./epubtohtml.pl

then run it to find out how to use it:

./epubtohtml --help

Here is a sample session that I run from my Mac. Hope it helps you:
