Code:
find . -type f -ls | egrep -v '\.(epub|cbz|mobi|pdf|db)' | cut -c48- | sort -rn | sed -e 's/\\//g' > filename.txt
Commands like the above are just a bunch of simple, basic Linux commands strung together using "pipes". e.g., the output of one goes to the input of the next. The command above used to end with "| more", the output of the command before was "piped to the input of the more command". I replaced that with "> filename.txt". This takes the output of the previous command and "redirects it into a file".
You might want to do a Google search for "Linux command line free ebook". There are many available. Lot's on Kindle Unlimited too, sometimes you will find them for free purchase there as well. Using pipes and redirects are basic to understanding the command line.
