- You can also skip calibre if you only want the EPUB file.
- Edit the last line in

Generation
Oathbringer
After downloading the repo and installing the requirements, just run
ruby oathbringer.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename Oathbringer.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
Way of Kings Reread
To generate the book:
ruby wok-reread.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename wok-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
Words of Radiance Reread
To generate the book:
ruby wor-reread.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename books/wok-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
. This generation might take a while because it contains a lot of images. It doesn't have the best possible index either, but is still pretty readable.
Edgedancer Reread
To generate the book:
ruby edgedancer-reread.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename books/edgedancer-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
. This generation might take a while because it contains a lot of images. It doesn't have the best possible index either, but is still pretty readable.
Way of Kings Prime
ruby wok-prime.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename books/wok-prime.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
Oathbringer Reread
ruby oathbringer-reread.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename books/oathbringer-reread.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
Skyward
ruby skyward.rb
All the generated files will be saved with the filename books/skyward.{epub|pdf|mobi|html}
. This generation might take a while the script attempts to strip out unnecessary HTML.
Defending Elysium
This is just lazily using Pandoc, since there is just a single page.
