  • How to convert an online ebook to pdf?

    Seems like his book is being posted with maybe https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js/ which somehow 404s every link I could find to the xhtml or ofp files he might actually want. Might be a different method for getting these?
  • Show HN: Lota – An online ePub reader with VS Code style

    That looks quite a bit like the ePub (and PDF and ...) reader [1] I made for Nextcloud, many years ago. I have not maintained it for a few years due to a lack of time and interest (I made it so my daughter could read on the school-issued iPad on which she was not allowed to install apps, it lacked a good reader) so it doesn't work on current versions but it could be made to run with relative ease. It uses the Futurepress epub.js library to render ePub documents, it would not surprise me to see this product using that as well.

    As to the question of needing an internet connection for reading a book the answer is that epub.js - or rather the browser engine in which it is executed - can lead external files so it can be used without an internet connection. I suspect this product can not be used in that was since it has 'cloud storage' as a 'premium' feature. Running locally would undermine the value of this 'premium' feature.
