@ECHO OFF
PUSHD .
FOR /R %%d IN (.) DO (
cd "%%d"
IF EXIST *.epub (
REN *.epub *.txt
)
)
POPD
Use Save to Disk option to put the books in a single folder.
Put the .bat file inside the same folder.
The .bat file will automatically change all .epubs inside the folder to .txt so you can send it using the Send to Kindle app.
The template includes the author because the app doesn't automatically populate the author field. Just cut & paste.
This cuts through so many steps that I'm really considering this over sideloading.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share in case somebody else plan to send bulk books to their Kindles. |
OK, so the bat changes the file extension to .txt of all the files in the folder - I can see where that's handy. But then you have to right click and Send to Kindle individually, correct? Because you have to enter the Title and Author fields before you send?
But thanks for this - taking an ePub, changing file extension to .txt, right click and Send to Kindle, correcting title and author in the app before sending - I get everything I want: correct title & author, bolding (advanced text features) works, the cover shows up (I'm on a newer Paperwhite), and it syncs across devices. Thanks!
