Calibre is far from ideal so I wonder if there is a better way to convert a PDF into EPUB? Maybe a new AI tool exist for that purpose? What do you use?

    Oh yeah my actual workflow to create a book was horribly inefficient and time-consuming. How automated is that HTML export and chunking process? Are you still going through and manually adding in every last <p></p> and href?

    I’m curious about your use case, because I was doing this with a book that was hundreds of pages long, full of photos and footnotes, which added lots of tedium.

      I just use a text editor and regex to add all the paras and hrefs. Done it for a few horribly mangled books I was converting. Whole process was “manually automated”.
