pyenchant - Offers an English Dictionary, helpful in detecting if a file is a book

pgi - Auto-detects your downloads folder

Usage

In default mode, pykindler will auto-detect your downloads folder and populate ‘Converted_Books’ and ‘Processed_Books’ folders
.. code-block:: sh

pykindler-run


In custom mode, specify your downloads folder and setup a twice-a-day conversion job
pykindler-run --folder /home/some-user/Desktop --job

If you just want to convert one file, specify it after –file
pykindler-run --file /home/some-user/Desktop/my-book.epub

If you want to not convert to mobi, choose your own extension with –ext
pykindler-run --file /home/some-user/Desktop/my-book.mobi --ext epub

For more help
pykindler-run -h
