Convert Kindle ebook to images?

xbryanthomasx · 09-02-2014, 01:36 AM

Is there any way to output image files for each page of a Kindle ebook? Maybe just a folder of 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, etc? Or a PDF of static images?

Thanks for the help!

You could print and then scan with a photocopier. Or screenshot and crop.

Why do you need this? It is possible there is a better solution.

I'm trying to convert a "Print Replica" Kindle book to PDF (or any format viewable on an iPad) but it gets EXTREMELY messed up in conversion, so I'd settle for an automated way to output images so I can compile them into a PDF.

Awesome, I was right.

Use KindleUnpack to extract the PDF from the .azw4 database. Yes, Print Replica is just a binary database wrapper around an actual PDF.
