Idée logiciel / service open source : service de détection et remplacement des polices de caractère dans les fichiers epub.
Pourrait fonctionner hors ligne avec le stockage local du navigateur (serialisation du epub dans indexeddb).
Si vous avez connaissance d'un tel service, n'hésitez pas à partager !
@gisiger@nerdculture.deDer #KOReader ist meine #FOSS App der Wahl auf allen meinen E-Ink-Geräten. Ja, die Lernkurve ist am Anfang steil, aber nach einer Weile kann man sich an all den vielen Einstellungen wie Ligaturen, Kerning usw. erfreuen.
Mein Killer-Feature ist der direkte Export meiner Anstreichungen direkt in #Joplin.
Over the weekend, I received some vaguely threatening emails from someone who wanted to stop me from publishing my research into Readium's LCP DRM.
I've published both my findings *and* the emotionally manipulative messages they sent.

Unter unseren Followern befinden sich doch auch einige Menschen der schreibenden Zunft. Sind darunter evtl. auch welche, die Erfahrung in der Erstellung von #eBooks im #EPUB-Format haben? Welche Programme sind denn hier unter #Linux empfehlenswert? Und nicht nur für die reine Erstellung, sondern bspw. auch zur Validierung des Buches oder zur Konvertierung in andere Formate (PDF, HTML etc.). Eine Änderungsverfolgung mittels eines Codeverwaltungssystems wäre ebenfalls hilfreich.
blog! “Extracting content from an LCP "protected" ePub”
As Cory Doctorow once said "Any time that someone puts a lock on something that belongs to you but won't give you the key, that lock's not there for you."
But here's the thing with the LCP DRM scheme; they do give you the key! As I've written about previously, LCP mostly relies on the user…

And done.
I can now extract a full #ePub which was "protected" by Readium's #LCP Profile 2.0.
I haven't found a way to reverse engineer the encryption. Nor have I cracked any cryptographic keys. I haven't misused anyone's computer, nor connected to anyone else's computer and run code there.
I simply politely asked the app to give me the unencrypted files and it did so.
It is a slow, tedious, and manual process. But, crucially, it works.
Will blog it all up next week.
This morning I'm sharing a brief thread on my freelance gigs, because social media sharing is good for the discoverability of these gigs and for the search algorithm within Fiverr, for better or for worse. (I'm not here to argue these points; please skip, if uninterested.)
First up, though it may require login, is my profile: https://www.fiverr.com/s/lj01yy7
Then there's my epub formatting gig: I make them clean, as lightweight as possible, and pretty, for all the major ebook distributors. Kindle, draft2digital, you name it. I also do pdf print-ready layout. https://www.fiverr.com/s/Egq4NyY
Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero
This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)
Somehow while I was editing my old epub gig yesterday it got automatically delisted, no backsies.
I have built a new epubs gig! Please spread the word. I am a pro at epub formatting and if you want your epub for a novel or other chapter book to shine, I'm your person. See my new gig page for the details, and please, hit me up, I love what I do!

@SimonRoyHughes@beige.partyAn #ebook in #ePub format is little more than a collection of #xml files in a "container" (more xml) that collates them, right? So why is any given ePub that I unzip and delve into so badly and opaquely organised?
It ought to be possible to hand-code these things; each one is little more than a self-contained Website, after all.
And where are the ePub compilers that do keep things straightforward?
@kkarhan@infosec.space@noblefeu also das mit Farbe ist ne Frage des Panels.
Wasserdichtigkeit geht notfalls per Hülle (gibt reputable Hersteller die sogar Druckwasserdichtigkeit für's Tauchen garantieren, brsucht halt buttons)...
Sowas wie "#ePub-Dateien ohne #DRM von #microSD lesen und anzeigen" sollte jeder halbwegs taugliche #eReader können. Ansonsten ist es allenfalls nen "#ThinClient für geschlossene Systeme" (vgl. #Amazon #Kindle)!
What an amazing project #StandardEbooks is!

Got my tablet set up to ease out of the Kindle ecosystem. But when I went to download a book from calibre it wanted to open it in Google Books.
So what app do y'all use to read epubs on an Android device because I don't like the idea of uploading my books to Google Books to read.
Le Sillon Fictionnel en livret PDF et EPUB.
J’ai toujours des idées à la con… Il y avait une issue sur GitHub pour créer un petit livret en PDF et EPUB de notre brol sillonesque. L’optimisme est toujours l’apanage des fous. Comme le chat n’était pas en super forme, je me suis dit que travailler sur l’ordinateur serait facile tout en lui tenant compagnie.
Merci LaTeX, @pandoc et une pile d'autres logiciels libres.
