TOC-to-EPUB Converter
Paste a table-of-contents URL and get a full EPUB with chapters
- Problem
- The poster built a 'whole book mode' on e-ink.me: paste a TOC page URL, detect chapters, exclude non-content pages, and generate a complete EPUB. This points to a real need: online technical books, tutorial series, and documentation sites organized as 'TOC page + many chapters' are tedious to convert manually. Existing tools either don't support whole-book conversion, lose formatting, or can't handle anti-scraping.
- Solution
- A converter focused on 'TOC page → whole-book EPUB': user enters a TOC URL, the tool parses the chapter list, lets the user select the desired sections, then fetches each chapter and assembles a properly structured EPUB with TOC, code blocks, and images. Built-in retry, credit deduction, and free regeneration within 24 hours.
- Users
- Heavy ebook readers, technical documentation readers, Kindle users, online course learners, knowledge management enthusiasts
- MVP
- Enter TOC URL and parse chapter list; let user select chapters; fetch each chapter and build EPUB; automatic retry and refund on failure; download or send to Kindle
- Revenue
- Credit-based subscription (e.g. 3 credits per chapter with a cap for long books), or monthly plan with quota; paid API for batch/CLI needs
- Why now
- The Kindle and e-reader audience keeps growing, and more content sites are structured in multi-chapter format; existing converters handle whole-book use cases poorly. A solo dev can ship a useful product with a narrow scope quickly.
