epub contents

[jasonLaster]

Hey, what's the best way to edit the epub contents. I'd love to add the most recent articles, cover-art, and maybe a script for scraping articles. Also, while it doesnt make a difference, I'd be happy to clean up the html syntax. Lastly, my ultimate goal is to get the book on my kindle. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!
Jason

Hi Jason - I have a script that does what you're saying, but I can't seem
to locate it right now, let me see if I can find it and get back to you.

Thanks David. I ended up working on a similar script so that I could effectively build an epub from scratch. https://github.com/jasonLaster/PGEssays.epub

There are still a couple kinks that need to be ironed out, but i'm waiting on PG's approval to move ahead.

best,
Jason

Hi Jason - looks great (much more thorough than mine). I think there is a
good ruby library for generating epubs in case you didn't want to do it
yourself.

Are you a YC alum?

I believe it was ruby-epub.
