OEB to Single HTML File Converter?

James Bryant · 06-29-2008, 07:16 AM

I have quite a lot of books in OEB (one OPF plus a number of HTM chapters and JPG illustrations) which I should like to shrink to a single HTML file per book (I do not need the illustrations in most cases).

This can, obviously, be done manually (i.e. once a year - apologies to Peter Sellars) but it seems a simple task and there may well be software to do it for me. As an extremely busy bear of little brain something with a Windows GUI is probably easier to learn than something called by DOS but I'll do what I must.

A search has produced too much information and I wondered if anyone could point me to suitable software, please?

I don't know of any software to do it for you. But it is doable manually. And you would have to fix all the links to junk to the correct places.

Well you could use MobiPerl...

Code:

  mobigen file.opf
  mobi2html file.mobi

or 

  opf2mobi --outfile file.mobi file.opf
  mobi2html file.mobi

or

  opf2mobi --outfile file.mobi --htmlfile file.html file.opf

The opf2mobi option looks good, but another alternative is SoftSnow's HTML Merger. I tried Merger after seeing in mentioned by Moonraker in HTML merge tool needed. It has worked for me in the few cases I have needed to merge HTML (without an OPF file).
