E-book conversion as a standalone project

Hello,

I had an idea of extracting Calibre's excellent e-book conversion functionality into a standalone Python package so I could use it in another project. I did start to read the code and set up a development environment, but I got a little lost while trying to see what I could do to extract just the conversion pipeline. And when I set up a breakpoint in the ebook conversion CLI, it seemed to even have imported the PyQt libraries.

So for someone more familiar with the codebase, do you think it can be done or is it too entangled for that? Is there a prior art of some project for e-book conversion?

Thanks!
