SYNOPSIS

9       ebook-convert  input_file output_file [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Convert an ebook from one format to another.
13
14       input_file  is  the  input  and output_file is the output. Both must be
15       specified as the first two arguments to the command.
16
17       The output ebook format is guessed from  the  file  extension  of  out‐
18       put_file.  output_file can also be of the special format .EXT where EXT
19       is the output file extension. In this case, the name of the output file
20       is derived the name of the input file. Note that the filenames must not
21       start with a hyphen. Finally, if output_file has no extension, then  it
22       is  treated as a directory and an "open ebook" (OEB) consisting of HTML
23       files is written to that directory. These  files  are  the  files  that
24       would normally have been passed to the output plugin.
25
26       After  specifying  the input and output file you can customize the con‐
27       version by specifying various options. The available options depend  on
28       the  input and output file types. To get help on them specify the input
29       and output file and then use the -h option.
