[MrJosu]

Can this option be added or it's there and I am missing something?
I am sorry If i put this in wrong place

Pandoc can do some formats, otherwise we need to add Calibre

What features are you missing?

mobi to epub?

[C4illin]

should work in the :main image now, try it out!

[C4illin]

currently it makes the docker image 50% larger, around 200 MB since it needs to install the entire calibre package

Yeah, I looked into Calibre for some other projects, and their is no way to only get the ebook-converter, you need the full suite
One thing we could add is maybe an ENV for "ebooks" and if detected, will download calibre automatically and add it ?

[C4illin]

I tried to install all deps seperately and copy over the calibre install files but it doesn't work.

I think an ENV is lots of extra work for a small benefit. An alternative would be this project https://github.com/gryf/ebook-converter but it seems a bit abandoned

[Aymendje]

Other projects, such as Stirling-PDF have different packages, for example stirling-ultra-lite or sterling-fat, etc.
You could have a similar approach, but I think managing multiple build just for calibre isn't worth it

Extracting the ebook-converter executable from calibre wont work, since its actually just a python file that loads into calibre-cli

[C4illin]

I think having multiple images makes more sense in this case. But I think most people would want calibre anyways even if the install size is 200 MB?
