This recipe depends on the installation of

  • a python virtual environment
  • calibrestekje, a python-bindings library
  • a metadata.db file as produced by an installation of Calibre
  • the files readfrompad.py and lessimplelayout.py (as documented below)

Getting started

First, create a python virtual environment on your machine.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" line> python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install reportlab calibrestkje
