Welcome again to everybody! Home yourself. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread.
● Matrix homeserver and space
● Theory discussion group on Matrix
● Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive and libgen
I’m not sure what to make into an epub next. So if anybody has some book they want turned into an epub, please tell me.
Stalin works need to be turned into epub and uploaded to Annas archive. Can only find them on pdf or marxist.org, and my e-reader struggles with pdfs.
Anywhere you’d like me to start? Btw, I think I’ll be using marx2mao… ?
any of anarchism or socialism, historical and dialectical materialism, the national question, the foundations of leninism.
btw how you do it? might do one myself.
I turn anything i found into an epub and use Calibre. I usually first grab the text and put it into Markdown, then use Calibre to convert it to .epub.
I use calibre. The marxists.org guide might help a little
Do you convert PDFs that do not have embedded text (i.e. scanned images of pages only) into epub format?
Yes!
Damn. Does Calibre do OCR these days or do you do it manually?
Manually. I use ocrmypdf, and then read through the result to fix anything that went wrong.
Dialectical and Historical Materialism and Foundations of Leninism is available at marxists.org as epubs. FoL doesn’t seem to be any different from the one on prolewiki.
The old Anna Louise Strong pamphlets are around as PDFs but I haven’t found any epubs of them yet.
