Fb2rip

fb2rip book.fb2 > book.txt Convert to EPUB:

fb2rip --no-notes -s book.fb2 > clean_book.txt a) For TTS (text-to-speech) fb2rip --no-notes --no-images book.fb2 > for_tts.txt # Then feed to eSpeak, Coqui TTS, etc. b) For e-readers (EPUB) fb2rip -f epub book.fb2 -o book.epub # You can then transfer to Kindle/Kobo via Calibre c) Extracting metadata only fb2rip -f txt book.fb2 | head -30 # Shows title, author, etc. 6. Troubleshooting Problem: UnicodeEncodeError Fix: Set encoding explicitly: fb2rip

Example with stripping and notes removed: fb2rip book

for f in *.fb2; do fb2rip "$f" -o "$f%.fb2.txt"; done | Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | -o FILE | Output file (default: stdout) | | -f FORMAT | txt , epub , html (default: txt) | | -s | Strip XML tags, keep only text | | --no-notes | Remove footnotes | | --no-images | Skip images | | --split CHAPTER | Split output by chapter into separate files | | --encoding ENC | Force output encoding (e.g., utf-8 , cp1251 ) | Otherwise, convert to HTML and embed manually

fb2rip -f epub book.fb2 -o book.epub Batch convert all .fb2 files in a folder:

fb2rip book.fb2 | sed '/^$/d' | awk '$1=$1;1' > clean.txt If you need a specific feature (e.g., preserve italics, keep chapter marks), check your version’s --help – some forks add extra flags. Would you like a sample FB2 file to test with?

fb2rip --encoding utf-8 book.fb2 > out.txt Missing images in EPUB Fix: Use --images flag (if your version supports it). Otherwise, convert to HTML and embed manually.
