See https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/gen-epub-book awk script

I've hacked text into directories and zipped into an ebook, then edited the
epub/zip using gvim.
I use groff to produce pdfs suitable for viewing on a kindle, i.e. custom page
size to suit the kindle screen and my eyesight! The text file is from
gutenberg.org then I run a script to turn it into a troff file. This is an

Kindles now support epubs (v3 I think) which provide a much better and nicer
experience on an epaper (eink is a TM) ereader (especially hi res 2-300dpi) with

with gif/jpeg/png/svg images, generate the metadata, and zip it all up properly,
you get an epub you can flip onto your ereader.
