NAME
ebook-convert - part of calibre
SYNOPSIS
ebook-convert input_file output_file [options]
DESCRIPTION
Convert an ebook from one format to another.
input_file is the input and output_file is the output. Both must be
specified as the first two arguments to the command.
The output ebook format is guessed from the file extension of output_file. output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT
is the output file extension. In this case, the name of the output file
is derived the name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not
start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_file has no extension, then it
is treated as a directory and an "open ebook" (OEB) consisting of HTML
files is written to that directory. These files are the files that
would normally have been passed to the output plugin.
After specifying the input and output file you can customize the conversion by specifying various options. The available options depend on
the input and output file types. To get help on them specify the input
and output file and then use the -h option.
For full documentation of the conversion system see http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/user_manual/conversion.html
Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-convert that have spaces in them,
enclose the arguments in quotation marks.
