Tor.com recently published the entire first book in the Hoshruba series as a [series
|
|
|
|
|
of blog posts](http://www.tor.com/features/series/hoshruba-series/). This script
|
|
|
|
|
downloads all of these posts and converts them into a publishable format, including
|
|
|
|
|
epub, mobi, pdf and html.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For obvious reasons, the converted ebook is not part of this repo. You must download
|
|
|
|
|
and run the script on your own machine to generate the copies.

|
|
|
- `pandoc` installed and available
|
|
|
|
|
- `ebook-convert` (from calibre) available to generate the mobi file

|
|
- `wkhtmltopdf` for converting html to pdf
|
|
|
|

You can also skip calibre if you only want the EPUB file.
