EPUB to Markdown: questions and answers
Can I convert e-books with DRM?
No. DRM-protected EPUB files are encrypted and cannot be read. DRM-free e-books convert normally.
How is the book structured in the Markdown file?
The whole book becomes a single Markdown file in reading order, with chapter headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists and links preserved.
Are the illustrations included?
By default illustrations are replaced by their alternative text. Turn on “Include images” to keep them in the .md file or in a .zip with an images/ folder.
