I’d like to create a kindle book based on some content I have, but would like to lay it out like the The Times kindle newspaper does it, with the centre button returning to the article list, which itself has a section view on the left, and the relevant articles on the right, changing based on the section changing.
I have no idea where to start on this so I don’t have any code yet that I can have reviewed.
How would I go about doing this?
Take a look at a Calibre. It has a feature which is called news recipes. Basically it works like: parsing an RSS feed then combine its articles into a magazine (which can be converted to mobipocket too).
You can write your own recipe to convert local HTML files too. Even better, it has a command line interface (
ebook-convert YOUR.RECIPE Your-magazine.mobi). Recipes are just relatively simplepythonscripts. And the API is rather well documented.
