Converting Project Gutenberg books to ePub
I know that for many books they have computer-generated ePubs. I find them unsatisfactory.
I would like people who put effort into convert Project Gutenberg books to high quailtiy ePub to describe their methods, tools, etc.
- What format do you start with? Text (with the PG-unique markup)? HTML? ePub?
- Do you have a standard CSS file that you use? Mind sharing it?
- What tools do you use? Notepad++? Sigil?
- How hard do you work on collecting, editing, enhancing images?
- Do you use images of an original to work from?
What are the problems you run into, how do you deal with them, and how long does it take you to convert a book into a decent quality ePub with clean modern markup - a book you are satisfied with?
