I have just added minor usability improvements (e.g. cmdline switch for input file selection) and a package.json file.
**TODO**
## Usage
<pre>
npm install
./main.js --help
</pre>
You just need to figure out the file to which the ebook was stored. As an example, in my case that was `~/.config/chromium/Default/databases/https_lesen.amazon.de_0/2`
Of course the ebook needs to first be downloaded for offline use:
Go to the `library` view in the cloud reader App, right click the cover, click `Download`.
## TODO
This is much better then nothing, but far from perfect.
* Generated files may become huge and cause troubles to some browsers. Storing images as standalone files may improve that.
* Page numbers should probably be included (optionally?).
* An option to extract only specific books would be useful for large libraries. Currently, it will extract all e-books found in the given file.
* The script could support the user in finding the right sqlite file.
