#Pdf to epub software free

[enarei]

i'm superficially a linux guy covering up for my much more niche and heartfelt e-reader persona. i want everyone to own an e-paper based device and use free software to read epub only digital media. i want PDFs to be legally mandated out of existence in 99% of cases, i want journal editors that continue to publish them to suffer struggle sessions and be shot. i have very strong opinions on the technical specifications of the cbz format. i can get very enthusiastic talking about them even though nobody cares. i want rar to fucking die

so if any of y'all have ever purchased e-books from Amazon, then you should log in to your Amazon account, and under your Content Library, download all your e-books to your computer and transfer them to your kindle reader via USB, or send them directly to your preferred device (if you have more than one connected to your Amazon account) via wifi by clicking "Deliver or Remove from this device" and switching the device you want to send it to

Once you've downloaded all your purchased e-books, not ones that are borrowed from Kindle Unlimited or Prime Reading, download the free Calibre e-book management software and this DRM removal plugin to remove the DRM (digital rights management) from your e-books, which converts your kindle e-books into the universal e-book format EPUB or whatever other ebook format you'd like, bc the Kindle ebook format AZW and AZW3, can only be used on Kindle readers, but by removing the DRM, they can then be used on any device that reads the EPUB format

BUT why should you do all this? bc on Feb. 26, 2025 (one week from now as of the time I posted this) Amazon will no longer provide this download option bc they're aware that people have been downloading their e-books from their kindle libraries and using software like Calibre to convert those e-books into EPUBs and not have to be tied down to Amazon's ecosystem, which makes them lose money (boohoo), and also the switch towards cloud-based storage

Basically, any e-books you have purchased from Amazon are not yours to own, you're essentially being licensed the e-book, so they can use this loophole to alter or completely remove those e-books from the website at their whim, and you would no longer have access to those e-books, even though you legally purchased them, which is wild bc we should be able to legally own, forever, any digital media we buy and do what we want with it, and this is something that has been happening with other forms of digital media like movies and video games, where you "buy" a digital copy but you don't actually own it

You should also stop buying e-books from amazon from now on since you don't even own them, and cancel your Kindle Unlimited subscription if you have one, and you might as well download any audiobooks you've purchased on Audible (which is also owned by Amazon)

[watch this video and this video for more thorough explanations about this issue and this video for a tutorial on how to use Calibre and the DRM ]

Alternatives to kindle readers include: Kobo (has integration with Libby) and Nook (from Barnes & Noble), or sell or donate the one you have if you don't want to use it anymore

Alternatives to amazon e-books: Libby (free app that links to your local library if you have an active library card where you can borrow ebooks and other digital media), Internet Archive, Project Gutenburg, 🏴‍☠️ ebooks and PDFs, and research whether your favorite author has books available to purchase directly on their website

....and you can always purchase or borrow physical books and other media as well! support your local libraries and indie bookstores!

TL,DR: this is a matter of media ownership, censorship, and archiving, so download your Amazon e-books NOW before Amazon takes away your ability to access the items that you legally purchased and locks you down to using their devices and ecosystem

FEBRUARY 26 IS THE LAST DAY TO DOWNLOAD YOUR AMAZON EBOOKS

Hi, Mr Prokopetz, I'm a big fan. Apologies if you've answered this before, but I was wondering what software you use to create the pdf and epub layouts of your ttrpgs, and whether you'd recommend it to a hobbyist who wants to try putting together something more professional than a gdoc for their own ttrpg?

My workflow is unfortunately not terribly accessible unless you have a fair amount of technical know-how.

In brief, I write all of my games in Notepad++ as HTML documents, taking care to use only the subset of HTML5 tags which are supported by most popular EPUB readers. I then use Calibre (or, more, precisely, the command-line utility that comes with Calibre, though you can get mostly the same results via the GUI) to bundle the HTML document as an EPUB3 file. I typically distribute both the HTML and EPUB versions (the former in a zipfile with all of the fonts and images and such) because web browsers tend to have much better screen-reader support than EPUB apps do.

The PDF, meanwhile, is generated from the same master HTML document using CSS paged media extensions – the layout is all generated automatically based on rules specified in a big, gnarly CSS file, and is never touched by human hands. There are a number of software packages which can do this sort of CSS-driven HTML-to-PDF conversion, some of them free or open source; I use a commercial product called Prince because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the only such software which has out-of-the-box support for PDF/UA semantic tagging (i.e., the stuff you need to do in order to make your PDFs screen-reader friendly), but you have more options if you're willing to tag your PDFs manually. (I am not.)

As for whether I'd recommend doing it this way? Like I said, unless you're a proper gearhead, not really; it's super efficient once you get it all set up – the only version of the game I actually maintain is the master HTML document, and generating updated versions of all the other formats is a one-click affair – but it's really only feasible for me because I already knew how to all that workflow automation stuff for unrelated reasons. I can't imagine teaching yourself all that from scratch just to write elfgames!

If your library is shutting down, if your downloaded ebooks have vanished from your device, you can get books for free and you can fight back three FREE ways:

Libgen

Calibre

Gutenberg

Libgen allows you to download ebooks for free. The site moves regularly, last time I knew it was libgen.rs but it's here now:

Is that link now dead? Go to your search engine and enter the term LibGen. You'll find where it's moved to. Go there and download books. Save them to a backup. Burn a disk with them on it. Whatever you have to do to keep knowledge accessible to you and others.

In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, books were banned but people assigned themselves a book and memorized it. Then shared the knowledge. We aren't there nor will we be because in Bradbury's time there wasn't the ability to download and save ebooks.

SO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE EBOOKS EXTERNALLY PLEASE.

Libgen helps you do that. So does Calibre, which is a free open-source ebook creator and an ebook reverser. You can take an epub or mobi and turn it into a PDF or a .docx.

Please do this if you fear knowledge will be lost. Or even if you don't. Just…save save save what you can because Amazon and all the other multi-nationals do not care nor will they care if knowledge goes away.

Finally Gutenberg.org is your one stop free source for books out of copyright. Download, download, download. They also have audiobooks.

Happy library building my friends.

Hey does anyone know of a free software that can help format a manuscript for ebook in epub format (or whatever it is, just not pdf)?

Review: The Case of the Sleeping Beauties

The Case of the Sleeping Beauties is a novella that I wrote back in 2015. Ambitiously subtitled "a Utah Sinclair mystery", it did not make any significant splash. It's got 67 lifetime sales, a 3.8 rating, and a single proper review. Some of this is simply a lack of marketing: back in 2015 I had written some fanfic and not much else, and was still working as a software engineer. I'm not sure why I wrote this novella, or decided to put it up for pay (unlike virtually everything else I've written, it's never once been up for free), but I consider it an abject failure, at least as far as writing for money goes. Also the cover sucks. The whole thing is 20,000 words, so short enough that I can easily blow through it in an afternoon. Also (still) available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF for patrons, but I don't have firm numbers for how many people read it that way, nor if it did anything to encourage patronage.

But is it an artistic failure as well?

There is actually another Utah Sinclair mystery, it was intended as a trilogy of novellas that together would be long enough (and coherent enough) to stitch into a full book with the three cases being individual "acts". I don't know the last time I reread The Case of the Sleeping Beauties, but my guess is that it was while I was trying to complete The Case of the Slaughterhouse Prophet, and that would have been almost a decade ago.

The story was written at a time when I was playing Malifaux, a skirmish game, and is clearly heavily inspired by that, though with the serial numbers filed off. It follows Utah Sinclair, a private detective of the yonside as he wanders around a rambling city trying to figure out where undead prostitutes are coming from.

Mild spoilers follow.

Prose

The first thing I noticed is just how much noir it's channeling, and how much is being put into descriptive phrases. Stuff like this:

The first human through the portal from earthside had found himself on the outskirts of an empty city, one that seemed like it had been cobbled together by an orgy of deranged architects.

Or this:

There were a few maps of Cathopolis, but they only agreed on the areas that the Priz maintained control over. Everywhere else was a geographical bedlam.

Or this:

He was the sort of person who was waiting to disgorge his thoughts, like a mother bird ready to feed a starving chick.

Or this:

I had a revolver strapped to my ankle, one affectionately advertised in the back of the penny dreadfuls as the Silent Witness. It was supposed to be a subtle weapon, but it was still a gun, and if I’d paid chits for it instead of pulling it off a dead man I might have written a nasty letter to the manufacturer about its supposed silence.

Or this:

It took me a moment to realize it, but he was dressed up like a Catholic priest, all in black with a white collar. Even if he’d been standing in the middle of the Vatican with the Pope vouching for him, it wouldn’t have been convincing. Partly it was the scars on his face, but it was also the head that had been shaved with a secondhand blade. The snub-nosed shotgun at his side didn’t help matters either.

I assume that this is channeling Raymond Chandler, since I read a lot of detective fiction when I was a teenager (my dad had loads of the stuff) and Chandler was always a favorite. I think the density of these flourishes could be higher, and if you're going with this style, it's better that it's liberally peppered in. You don't want to sink into the rhythm "normal" prose only to have a tiny speck of flourish pop out at you.

There were a lot of things that I tightened up while reading, partly because this is the easiest thing in the world when reading in GDocs, but I don't know that I'll push a change to the ebook, partly because I would need to figure out how. Most of these changes are fairly minor. There's an overuse of semicolons, which I think I was in love with at the time, a romance that hasn't lasted. There are a few minor tweaks that are just on the order of "no, the phrase 'mechanical fingers' might be misread as poetic, it should reworded to be clear that these are prosthetic". A few of the tweaks are just to reduce down how much text there is, making it more punchy, so "the Priz didn't tax any property that a person might want to claim in this part of the city" becomes "the Priz didn't tax property in this part of the city", and this is essentially inarguably better, tighter, cleaner prose.

Also I fixed some typos, and those do make me feel like I need to figure out the reupload.

Character

I think I've gotten better at character voices through the years, but here I kind of doubt myself, since everything seems fine in that regard. Utah and his partner Ralph don't talk enough early on in my opinion, and there might be a few too many characters introduced in rapid succession, which is a problem when they're not advancing the plot. Cyanide Sally is a bartender who owns the House of Skulls, and she serves a bitter almond special that's (supposedly) fatally poisoned one time in every hundred, and this is very fun ... but it's irrelevant to the plot, it's just fun for the sake of fun.

I do think that Ralph gets speaking lines a bit too late, given that he's the second main character. My advice to my past self would be that he should be getting characterizing dialogue from the word go, and that this central relationship should be better understood by the reader much earlier. And they should be more distinct from each other: the orthogonality thesis is that every set of characters should only overlap where there's something interesting to say with that overlap. Cover up the names and see if you can tell who said what line! This does not work for Ralph and Utah, but I think it does work for most of the other characters. And I guess I wouldn't say this is fatal, since it's not like there's some grounding character arc between our detective and his sidekick.

Utah himself is ... fine. Some of his characterization comes through in the narration, and there were a few moments I particularly liked from him, but I'm not sure that I could sketch him out in a sentence. He's down on his luck, loves to break rules, lies through his teeth, scrambles around and gets back up from the hard punches. I'm not sure that this is enough. A job should be more than a job, I guess, and I do get the sense that he's skeeved out by the necromancy, but ... well, that brings us to the other thing.

Theme

This is, if you squint, or maybe even if you don't, a cop story about sex work. It also kind of doesn't have that much to say about either of those things.

Utah is a private detective, doling out justice for people who can pay him. In real life, private detectives come in a variety of flavors, but one of the most common is just the pursuit of things that are not actually criminal issues, like breach of contract, or adultery. This is a criminal issue within their world, but it's one that no one in power is pursuing. There's some clear contempt for the regular cops from Utah, and some further contempt for the law itself, since he breaks all kinds of laws in this lawless world, including murdering two men, which doesn't greatly affect him. This is self-defense, but still. I don't think there's some great thesis on criminality or justice here, and the novella overall is justice-neutral, seemingly unconcerned with what's right or wrong, only trying to work the problem. This is maybe fine?

And the sex work stuff is seen through the lens of Utah, and this is also seen as maybe being just morally neutral in a matter-of-fact way, something that people do in order to get by, no different from working in a coal mine or whatever. And there's exploitation, but that's no different from working in a coal mine. So I think this story has a viewpoint, but not a thesis.

Does a story need a thesis? Does a little novella like this need to have something to say about the world and the people in it? I don't know, I guess not, but I sure do prefer when there's something to grab onto. I am a sucker for story structure though, and a nice little character arc, and this piece ... does not really have that. Utah is challenged, but he's not challenged to his core, and does not grow and change, and this probably fine for a 20k word novella.

I think in the end it's more of a "wouldn't it be fucked up" kind of story, and in this case I don't particularly like that, since it's not fucked up enough.

Ideas

One of the other things that I look for in any story is cool ideas, and this is one of the things that I like most about reading long ago pieces, because sometimes I've forgotten those ideas.

The idea density is okay, but I would have liked to see more. A weird fiction setting is a playground for ideas, and I feel like especially in the back half, there's just not enough playing going on. It is only 20k words, but that feels like it's enough for easily twice as many little fucked up weird things. So that's what I would do, include more fucked up weird things. (The part where they go to the manor is the one that stands out clearly to me as needing more fucked up weird things, there should have been some kind of magic sculpture there or a steampunk maid or something.)

Of all the stuff that I had forgotten about, my favorite was the necromancy lobbyist, a guy who just really believed that necromancy should be legal, but was supposedly not a necromancer himself. So he's just talking about like regulatory schemes and social mores, and this is funny. I'm glad he wasn't a bad guy in the end, for some reason I thought he was going to be involved in the plot in a more critical way. Instead, he's just a happy little academic.

Conclusion

Fun to reread, and no, I would say not an artistic failure. Definitely feels like it wants a second mystery to follow after it. I believe The Case of the Slaughterhouse Prophet is approximately half written, which with editing work means only a quarter written, but again, the numbers mean that there's just no way that I can justify that as anything but a labor of love.

I wouldn't say that this is the best thing I've ever written, but I think it compares favorably to the other mid-length stuff. Definitely would have been stronger with a thematic core, and with more cohesion between protagonist and plot, but I also think that's fine.

I guess, having read it after nearly a decade, I'm feeling weirdly defensive about it for no particular reason. It might have been one thing if it had just not sold, that's partly just down to the lack of marketing and also the market for novellas being bad. But it also scored poorly in terms of ratings, and on top of that, never got enough reviews for me to get a picture of what was not hitting right, which leaves me grappling in the dark.

So I'd say that I learned approximately nothing from this, except that I had some more ideas for a Weird West kind of story, if I ever end up writing one of those.

Hello writers,

Besides Audible and Audiobooks, have you had your books converted to speech/voice? If so, what company did you use?

If not, have you thought about using AI text-to-speech software over using a live narrator? How does one turn the audio file into an audiobook and release it to the wild?

-- So, with that in mind, I asked Co-Pilot this same questions - here's what it said: "Converting Books to Audiobooks Using AI Text-to-Speech Software" There are several tools and platforms that allow you to convert your books or other written content into audiobooks using AI-driven text-to-speech technology. Here are some options:

1) Narakeet: Narakeet offers an online service that can transform your Word documents, EPUB files, or PDFs into audio recordings using lifelike text-to-speech voice generators. You can choose from a variety of voices in over 100 languages. Simply upload your book chapters, select a voice, and let Narakeet generate the audio for you. You’ll receive an MP3, WAV, or M4A file. This is a great option if you want a quick and efficient way to create audiobooks without hiring voice artists.

2. TTSReader: TTSReader allows you to upload EPUB files and converts them into spoken audio. It’s particularly useful for turning ebooks into audiobooks. You can find thousands of free EPUB books on sites like Project Gutenberg. After conversion, you’ll have an MP3 or WAV file ready for distribution.

3) Speechki: Speechki is an AI audiobook generator with a wide range of voices available in over 80 languages. It provides realistic text-to-speech voiceovers and can transform any text into high-quality audio content. You can use it to create audiobooks, podcasts, and more.

4) http://VEED.IO: http://VEED.IO offers an audiobook maker that uses AI text-to-speech technology. Select a suitable voice, paste your text, and let the AI read it aloud. It’s perfect for self-published authors.

"How to Release Your Audiobook" Once you’ve created your audiobook, the next step is to release it to the world. Here’s a brief guide:

1) Editing and Quality Assurance: Make sure your audio is error-free. Listen carefully for glitches, background noise, or any issues. Correct any mistakes and ensure the overall quality meets professional standards.

2) Choose a Distribution Platform: Platforms like Audible, ACX (Amazon’s audiobook platform), and Findaway Voices allow you to distribute your audiobook. Research their requirements, terms, and royalty rates. Choose the one that aligns with your goals.

3) Format Your Files: Most platforms accept specific audio formats (usually MP3 or WAV). Make sure your audiobook files meet their technical specifications.

4) Upload and Publish: Follow the platform’s instructions to upload your audiobook. Provide metadata (title, author, description, cover art) and set your pricing.

5) Promote Your Audiobook: Leverage your existing fan base, social media, and email newsletters to spread the word. Consider running promotions or offering free review copies to gain initial traction.

6) Monitor Sales and Reviews: Keep an eye on sales and reviews. Engage with listeners and gather feedback. -- https://ttsreader.com/ https://speechki.org/ https://www.veed.io/ https://www.narakeet.com/ https://murf.ai/ https://elevenlabs.io/ https://speechify.com/

So! In light of google docs being revealed as a data farm for google’s AI, I promised my discord friends I’d report back to them on the software, Scrivener! I have too much to say even for Nitro to handle it and I figure some of my Tumblr peeps would also find this interesting so this is where it’s going.

Now, it’s a pretty hefty program in terms of functions and features but it includes a full, in depth tutorial. So rather than rehash all that, I’m gonna give you the broad strokes of what makes Scrivener better than other paid programs. (at least in my opinion)

It’s project based rather than document based.

"Dee,” I hear you ask, “what do you mean by project based?” You know how you normally have to make a folder for your project, then many separate documents within said folder for chapters, references, character profiles, world building, etc. that you have to open individually to work on?

Scrivener said “nah, we’re gonna do all that for you”. You can have multiple documents, character cards, research notes, whatever you want within a single open project window so you can freely click through them.

So instead of this:

You get this!

You can switch between documents in seconds and it also offers a side by side view so you can have your outline, a reference article, etc. visible while you’re writing.

Good Templates!

When opening a new project, you get this menu:

Each category has multiple sub options (Fiction has novel, novel with parts and short story. Scriptwriting has drama, stage play, etc.) and what I love most about them is that they format everything for you to cater to that kind of project! You can also choose a blank template, play with the formatting until you’re happy with it, then save all those settings as a custom template.

The Compile Feature!!!

This is invaluable!!! Particularly if you’re writing original content and are looking into traditional or self publishing. Once you have your finished manuscript, the compile feature will format that shit FOR you! You make your save file selection (print, PDF, .html, .epub, etc), choose your final document format and what sections you want included/excluded in the final document.

Click Compile and you’ll have a fully formatted final document ready for submission!

30 Day Free Trial

And I mean ACTUALLY free! They never ask for your card info, name, or even email address to download the trial version. You get 30 days to kick the tires, take it for a spin around the block, push all the buttons. If you do decide you love it and need it in your life, I have more good news for you!

NO SUBSCRIPTION BULLSHIT!!!!

It’s a one-time-purchase of $59.99 USD, you download the software and it’s yours! You own it! That’s it!

I can’t emphasize enough that I have just barely scratched the surface here. There’s so many features and tools to play with that I haven’t even explored myself yet. I absolutely love it, fuck google and if you’re interested in giving Scrivener a whirl, you can get the free trial here.

Would you mind sharing a link of the Captain America First Avenger novelization that you used for that series of gifsets?

sure thing anon! 😊 i must warn you this is an epub file, so you might need a new (free! don't worry) software to read it in case you don't have one. you can also convert this into a pdf file with software (and i guess a online converter?), but it might cause layout errors.

tag me if you do any art based of it! 😁

and oh in case the link doesn't work for some reason, contact me about it! it's no bother!

do you have any recommendations for document formatting software? i'm really admiring your page layouts on space gerbils but i know i couldn't even really think of pulling something like that off for my own works in word/libreoffice without lots of hassle

Afraid I can't help you there. I don't use desktop publishing software of any kind – I write my games in Notepad++ as HTML documents, and that's the only version of the text that's ever touched by human hands. The PDF and EPUB versions are generated automatically using document conversion tools that support CSS Paged Media extensions; I personally use a commercial product called Prince for the PDF side because I have excruciatingly specific requirements in terms of supported typesetting features, but there are any number of free and open source alternatives if you're just getting started.

Don’t Let File Formats Slow You Down – Here’s What You Need to Know

There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to send a file and getting hit with “unsupported format” or “file too large.” Whether it’s work documents, school projects, or video clips from your phone, we all deal with files that don’t play nice. That’s why knowing how to convert, compress, and merge files is such a game-changer—it just makes digital life smoother.

Luckily, there are tools out there that make these file tasks ridiculously simple, even if you're not the most tech-savvy person in the room.

What File Conversion Actually Means (And Why It Matters)

File conversion is basically taking a file in one format and changing it into another. That could mean turning a .docx into a .pdf so it opens the same on any device, or converting a .mov video to .mp4 so it uploads faster.

Here are a few real-world conversion examples:

Documents: Excel to CSV, Word to PDF, PDF to editable Word

Images: HEIC to JPG, PNG to WebP

Audio/Video: MP4 to MP3, FLAC to AAC, MKV to MP4

eBooks: PDF to EPUB, MOBI to Kindle

If you’ve ever had a file rejected when uploading it somewhere, you already know why having a good converter matters.

Two Ways to Convert: Offline vs. Online

You’ve got two main ways to get the job done—offline software or online tools.

Offline Tools

These are your downloadable apps like Wondershare UniConverter, Format Factory, or PDF Architect. They're super reliable and great for working offline or doing bulk conversions. But they also take up space, need regular updates, and can be a little overkill for quick one-off tasks.

Online Tools

Online converters are perfect for when you just want to get something done without installing anything. A great example is Convert Eaze, which lets you convert, compress, and merge files all from your browser. Whether it’s a PDF report that’s too large to send or a few documents that need to be merged for a presentation, it handles it all in one place—fast, clean, and hassle-free.

Discovering Useful Tools in Unexpected Places

It’s funny how we come across helpful tools in the weirdest corners of the internet. Maybe you’re scrolling through sneaker news on Hypebeast, checking out fan art on DeviantArt, or reading productivity tips on Lifehacker—and someone casually drops a link to a tool they swear by for converting files. That kind of random discovery can end up being exactly what you needed.

If you’re curious to explore this more, here are a few earlier blog posts that go deeper into the topic:

Blog #1: Breaks down file conversion in detail, with examples and tech behind it

Blog #2: Focuses more on compression and merging, plus how people stumble onto tools online

These posts are great if you want to go deeper or share the knowledge with someone else struggling with file issues.

Don’t Sleep on Compression & Merging

Sure, converting gets most of the spotlight—but compression and merging are just as important.

Compression helps reduce file sizes without destroying quality, which is a must for email attachments or uploading to sites that have size limits.

Merging is perfect for combining several PDFs into one doc, stitching videos together, or bundling images into one downloadable file.

Both features help you stay organized, save time, and avoid the classic “file too big” or “can’t open this” issues we all run into.

Final Thoughts

Files don’t always behave the way we want—but that doesn’t mean you have to waste time fixing them. When you’ve got a tool that can convert, compress, and merge in just a few clicks, it honestly feels like cheating (in the best way).

Next time a file refuses to upload or open correctly, you’ll know exactly what to do—and you won’t need to download a dozen different programs just to do it.

And hey, if you happen to find a tool that helps, don’t forget to be that person who drops the link in a random comment thread. You never know whose day you might save.

Affiliate disclaimer Thank you for reading my honest review. My honest opinion is shared in the review. An affiliate disclaimer is a statement to inform audiences that a company or individual may earn a commission or other compensation if they purchase products or services through links on their website, blog, social media, or other platforms. This disclaimer is essential for maintaining transparency and complying with legal requirements, such as those set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States. It ensures readers or viewers know of any potential bias or financial incentive behind recommendations. Typically, the disclaimer is placed prominently, either at the beginning or end of content and clearly states the nature of the affiliate relationship. For example, "This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a commission if you purchase through my links at no extra cost." This builds trust with the audience while protecting the content creator from legal issues.
