Darn! I was hoping for the other (or both).

Sigh... suppose I should install a portable version of calibre and see how all these new toys work.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is there a way to shrink the size of a file after using Kindle Unpack on it? I unpacked a Kindle file that wouldn't work as is on my Kindle (bought from Mobipocket yrs ago) and the HTML file I got as a result is 89 MB in size. It's a bit large to try to make a epub out of it and I have no idea how to convert it to work like it should for reading.

"Shrinking" such a file is not what you want to do. If you want to create an ePub out of it (and KindleUnpack should have created an epub already--regardless of how large the html file is), your best bet will be using calibre's book-edit, or Sigil to split the html file into smaller, logical sections or "chapters." Hope something there helps. |

Unpack Epub
I use Calibre to convert from various ebook formats to 'htmlz' at this point, which is the only way I know of to get all the html files into a single file. Unfortunately, Calibre replaces a lot of classes with its own made up classes, which 'breaks' the meaning of various existing classes. All I really need is one single html file, unmodified, and the photos. The htmlz export joins the files, but it converts the classes as well, even though there is no need to do so.
I've just installed the KindleUnpack plugin, and it does exactly what I need - merge the html files into one file, without using Calibre's conversion routines, which renames classes from whatever they were to 'calibexx', which causes a loss of the original class names. The only problem I still have is that I need the same feature for Epub files. Would it be impossible to add that as an import format? What would be even better would be to add a 'unpack' feature to Calibre itself, which would take any input format, merge the html files, and provide a zipped output. So, my three most important needs are: 1. Merge the html files into a single file 2. Not change or rename classes. 3. Run from the command line. Thanks! |

There are programs available to merge HTML files into one HTML files. Google is your friend.

- Open the ePub in the calibre editor - Select all the HTML files - Right click on them and select "Merge selected text files" - Press OK when prompted - Save the changes and close the editor - Change the file extension to HTMLZ - Open the file with your favourite zip file manager and remove the extra files The only issue I can think of is the stylesheets. If there are multiple stylesheets in the epub, they will probably all be referenced in the final HTML file. But, if there are duplicate selectors across the stylesheets, the final result could be interesting. And that is the reason calibre does the renaming. |

KindleUnpack Icon Vanishes (calibre 1.4.7)
Hi,
I've come to realize that the KindleUnpack Icon always vanishes after a few seconds (see attached video) eventhough the plugin works (If you're fast enugh). Does anyone know why? kind regards, Sesselmann Edit: I've now found out that it vanishes, after calibre mounts my kindle. So I'm not sure if this really is a KindleUnpack bug. Since i'm new to calibre so: Should I report this somewhere else and if "yes", where (I'm talking about the vanishing of button(s) after mounting the kindle)? |
