Thank you for tying this together and posting it.
Very helpful. Just what I was looking for. Easy to follow the script. I changed it to prompt for the Title and Author to use. File names on my computer are much different than how I want them on the Kindle. To people confused why this exists, give it a try. I've been doing the same thing using some of the Windows software under Parallels. If you're trying to read text in a PDF image (i.e. a scanned document that you didn't do OCR on) the level and density corrections make a BIG difference. Line drawings / schematics are much easier to see as well. |

Well, my mac isn't foobar-ed, but it isn't willing to do perl either. I installed perl (with several pre-requisites first) but it can't find HTML::TreeBuilder and I can't find TreeBuilder with grep either. I have a subset of the HTML files, or something.

perl -MCPAN -e shell and follow the instructions. Then search for the missing packages using i /TreeBuilder/ for example and install it with "install HTML::TreeBuilder". The mobiperl web page lists all packages you need to install. |

P.S. to mac people - a few of the other scripts floating around are in python. THAT downloaded and ran with no problems on my mac. So do try those, at least! |
