html2mobi (a mobigen replacement written in Perl) - Page 6

tompe · 12-30-2007, 09:36 PM

I fixed the <pre> by replacing space with   and adding <br /> at the end of each line. It kind of works but if a line is longer than the maximum length the code is not so readable. And for the Cybook it seems to be 60-70 characters.

Great, thank you.

Sure, but that is pretty a minor issue compared to the old behaviour.

If you are using Mobiperl with your own Perl installation there is a file mobiperl-0.0.20.tar with this change (works for one HTML file now). I will not do a new Windows binary distribution until I fix some more things.

Hi.
I've tried mobi2html (latest 0.0.26 - on debian sid) with Polish www.ebook.pl free books. I've always got empty html file (with main markups - html and body) and one gif file (I've checked - it is a cover).

Every book can be open in Mobipocket reader without any trouble.

As an example you can try:

http://ebook.pl/ebooki/Classic_000248.prc

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Is this a DRM:ed book? FBReader could not read it properly either. So either it is DRM:ed or it is compressed with the highest compression which is not documented anywhere.

I was able to convert it to HTML. But, I don't know if I am allowed to post it here. Is it public domain (life + 50) at least?

So what was the problem? Was it drm:ed?

JSWolf · 02-04-2008, 05:22 PM

The file is not DRMed. But, I wasn't able to use mobi2html. I had to use something else to convert it to html and it did work.

So what was that something else then? Your comments are not so helpful if the goal is to understand what the problem is.

I assume the book was compressed with the secret compression format then.

I agree. I tried a couple of files from this site, and they both came up in FBReader like other MobiPocket-specific compressed files (i.e. as garbage).

IT IS public domain - you can post it without any problem.

So, is that "else" has any name?
Please let us know

I attempted to use this. the --title option doesn't seem to do anything. Not a big problem since FBreader can change the title and author. I used 2 simple html files and tried the TOC. Doesn't work. It tries to create a table of contents using a couple of bullet points but nothing is written beside them.

I will check this in the weekend. Which version did you use? Did you use the latest mobiperl version which is 0.0.26?

I wrote a decompressor for the new huffdic compressed files. Maybe this code can be incorporated into mobiperl?

Note. This program does not break any DRM encryption, so it's not illegal. It just decompresses files compressed with the new compression into a raw html file.

Thanks to Igor Skochinsky for the valuable assistance.
