Converts images in a directory to a comic/manga EPUB3 ebook. Can be used to convert extracted CBZ/CBR to EPUB3.

images2epub.py

Converts a directory of images into a modern EPUB3 ebook. Use a tool to extract CBZ/CBR/CBT files and then run this program to generate a nice fixed-layout EPUB ebook of it. You can optionally set the reading direction to right-to-left (e.g. for manga). For Kobo ereaders, use the file extension .kepub.epub to get the modern reader and correct reading direction.

Usage

Install dependencies with pip install imagesize lxml

Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching All URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended to match any URLs,
including "mailto:[email protected]", "x-whatever://foo", etc. For a
pattern that attempts only to match web URLs (http, https), see:
https://gist.github.com/gruber/8891611
# Single-line version of pattern:
(?i)\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}/)(?:[^\s()<>]+|\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))
