I'm not a specialist of bash. My experiment needs enhancement.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd /media/xxx/Kobo/philo_pdf
for file in *.pdf; do
#title=`cat ../../title/$file`
#title=`$file`
echo ""
echo " Title is $file"
echo ""
oldfile=$file
newfile="$file.epub"
echo " Converting: $file " 
echo ""
echo "started: $(date)"
echo ""
echo $newfile
[ ! -f "$newfile" ] && /usr/bin/ebook-convert "$file" "$file.epub" --no-default-epub-cover --no-svg-cover  --insert-metadata --authors "pdfConvert" --title "$file" || echo "$newfile already exists"
done
