Wildbow Web Serial's for Kindle

#Wildbow Web Serial Scraper for Kindle

I couldn't find a good ebook/kindle version of worm, the fantastic web serial by wildbow (John McCrae), and subsequent works, so I decided to make one. You can now enjoy worm, pact, and twig without all of the eye strain! Until wildbow gets these things published, this is the next best option.

Please support the author!

##Download

Download the ebook or run the scraper yourself.

##How to run:

1. Clone this project
2. Install dependencies - Ruby, zlib, and calibre

# linux
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install calibre

# osx
# ruby is pre-installed
brew install lzlib
brew install calibre

In early versions, uri and open-uri were required gems, but they appear to have been rolled into the Ruby build now.

gem install nokogiri

3. Run the shell script, with the option of choice. -h shows options, -w creates the worm ebook, -p creates pact, and -t creates twig; -a creates all three.

chmod +x make_ebook.sh
./make_ebook.sh -a
