Anthology

A quick and dirty Bash script to create an ebook from a list of web articles.

Getting Started

Get a copy of the script and follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

• Install wget.
• Install Mercury Parser.
• Install jq.
• Install Calibre and make sure ebook-convert is in your PATH.
• A way to serve the current working directory via HTTP. I find Python's SimpleHTTPServer to be the simplest solution.

Usage

• Put your list of articles to compile into an ebook in a text file (one URL per line). The file should end with a newline.
• Start the HTTP server with python -m SimpleHTTPServer.
• Run the script with compile.sh [input file].
• Wait for Anthology to do the right thing and generate an EPUB file in the same directory. If you want a MOBI file for your Kindle, uncomment Line 40 in compile.sh.
