![]() ![]() Note that an EPUB file (package) normally contains multiple files in different formats: XHTML, XML, JPG, etc. To recover a working EPUB package (file), you finally need to change the file extension back to ".epub" (instead of ".zip"). You can then extract files of interest, modify them in a text editor, and put them back in the ZIP file. ![]() So if you rename an EPUB file by changing its ".epub" extension to the ".zip" extension, you'll be able to open the newly-renamed ".zip" file in any file compression software, and view the files contained within the original EPUB package. This can be done with the tweak_epub utility, irrespective of whether the EPUB files were generated by Atlantis or by another application.īefore explaining how to use the "tweak_epub" utility, let's first take a look at the inner workings of EPUB files.Īll EPUB files are actually ZIP files with ".epub" as their filename extension instead of ".zip". However, at times you might want to make adjustments to EPUB files that are not possible directly through the GUI of Atlantis. And when you need to make a change to an eBook, all you need to do is modify the corresponding source document in Atlantis, then resave it as eBook. With Atlantis Word Processor, you can convert any document file into an eBook in the EPUB format. Note : I do other things in Sigil in addition to removing metadata items, such as spell check and ToC adjustments.Example: adding metadata to EPUB General information I did look at it a long time ago but I decided I didn't need it because I could achieve what I wanted with calibre's Modify plugin and Sigil. This program might be of interest => New program: EPub Metadata Editor. Here the settings I have for the Modify plugin. Any Comments that I download and want to keep get moved into a custom column - Blurb/#blurb, which I can edit from the book list, and remove via the Modify plugin. I don't use Comments, firstly because they cannot be edited from the book list, secondly because they end up in dc:description, which cannot be removed by the Modify plugin. ![]() calibre puts content of Comments into dc:description, i.e. I use the Comments section for brief observations on some books and the Description section after completing each book to make a brief summary of the concepts that belong to it. Maybe you can convince the authors of these to add options to remove certain metadata. Other than that, there are the Clean Metadata and Cleaning Comment plugins. To do multiple books, the bulk metadata editor has a search and replace function that should be able to clear one field at a time for all the books. I can't think of anything that will remove all unwanted metadata except opening the metadata editor and going through each field and clearing them. Well, I am curious about why you don't want the other metadata, but. > I would like to erase all possible metadata, apart from the four mentioned above. When I delete other types of metadata in bulk (like Series), I realize that other metadata persist to exist (like Description) when I use my eBooks on other platforms. Title | Author(s) | Publication date | Tag I use very little data to identify my eBooks: I have a very simple use of Calibre however, there are two things I would like to learn to get "super clean" ePubs: ![]()
