Ebook Tools

ebook-tools is a multi-function analysis and optimization tool for ebooks. It ingests EPUB, MOBI, or PDF files or pasted text, and outputs structured metadata, word counts, reading time, and SEO-ready attributes for landing pages. It helps publishers and marketers maximize discoverability and interoperability.
Core concepts: The tool separates core logic (data extraction, format conversion, optimization) from optional extensions (TOC generation, JSON-LD, bulk processing). It relies on standard metadata fields (title, author, language, subjects) and suggests SEO keywords and concise descriptions suitable for search engines.
Input handling and outputs: Inputs include file_path or binary_file, input_format, target_format, language, and optional overrides; outputs consist of a metadata object, word_count, reading_time_minutes, toc, seo_metadata, and converted_file or download link.
Example workflow: 1) Provide inputs (ebook file or text). 2) Run analysis to extract meta and counts. 3) Choose operations (generate SEO metadata, convert format, export TOC). 4) Review outputs and adjust overrides if needed. 5) Export: download converted ebook and JSON/SEO data for integration.
Audience and value: Editors, publishers, and marketing teams gain a repeatable, auditable process for ebook preparation, metadata quality, and discoverability improvements. Unique differentiators include native TOC generation, SEO keyword suggestions aligned to chapters and sections, and native export of structured data (JSON-LD) for web pages and catalogs. Use cases span pre-publication metadata enrichment, content audits, and batch processing for catalogs.
Platform compatibility and assumptions: The tool assumes valid ebook or text input and does not manage DRM; it operates offline for data processing and conforms to Dublin Core-like metadata semantics for interoperability.
