A program to generate epub file from articles saved in your [Omnivore](https://omnivore.app) library and optionally send
it to your eReader using email.
Omnivore is an open source read-it-later app similar to Pocket and Instapaper.
Forked from [here](https://gist.github.com/kebot/90de9c41742cacf371368d85870c4a75)
## OS Support
This program uses no OS specific code and should work on all platforms supported by `Deno`.
## Download
- To download the latest version of the program, you can use git to clone the repository
- If you are not familiar with git, you can always download the latest version by going to
[the latest GitHub release](https://github.com/agrmohit/omnivore-epub/releases/latest)
- Then, under `Assets` click on `Source code (zip)` which will download the latest release of the program in a zip file
which you will need to unzip.
- The program checks for updates when run and will notify you of new releases when available. This can be disabled in
the config file.
## Usage
- Install [Deno](https://deno.com/manual/getting_started/installation)
- Get an API token for Omnivore following instructions
[here](https://docs.omnivore.app/integrations/api.html#getting-an-api-token)
- Put your token in the `token` field in [config file](config.json)
- Modify the configuration file if necessary
- In your terminal, go to the app folder and run the following command `deno run -A main.ts`
- The ebook with extension `.epub` should be in the app directory after execution
### Send to eReader
List of eReaders that support sending ebook using email:
- [Kindle](https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/email)
- [Pocketbook](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFfWwzi8WEM)
> [!TIP]
>
> Make sure the email address used is approved to send ebook to your eReader
#### Configuring email
- Ability to send ebook over email is disabled by default
- To enable it, set `emailSupport` to `true` in the [config file](config.json)
- Set `emailHost` to the [SMTP](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-in/learning/email-security/what-is-smtp/) address of your
email provider
- E.g. `smtp.gmail.com` for Gmail and `smtp-mail.outlook.com` for Outlook
- Set `emailPort` to the SMTP Port. Usually it is 587, 465 or 25
- Set `emailUser` which is usually your email address
- Set `emailPassword` to your email account password. This is stored locally on your device and is never sent to us
- Set `emailRecipient` to the email you want to receive ebook on (your eReader's email address). See the links in list
of eReaders above to know more
- You may need to set `emailAllowSTARTTLS` to false when using `465` as `emailPort`. Leave it to `true` when not sure
> [!CAUTION]
>
> The email password is stored in plaintext on your device, unencrypted. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use app
> password instead of your account password whenever your email provider supports it
>
> You may also need to turn on 2FA (Two Factor Authentication)
>
> Instructions for setting an app password for a few popular email providers:
>
> - [Gmail](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833)
> - [Outlook](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/5896ed9b-4263-e681-128a-a6f2979a7944)
> - [Zoho Mail](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/bigin/channels/email/articles/generate-an-app-specific-password)

### Custom searchQuery
Setting `searchQuery` is the recommended way to filter and sort articles. You can learn more about how to use them on
the official Omnivore documentation [Search | Omnivore Docs](https://docs.omnivore.app/using/search.html).
The default value is `sort:saved-desc` which returns all unarchived articles sorted by saved date, recently added
articles first.
You can also use it to filter by labels. In case the label contain a space, you will need to escape the double-quotes
using a forward slash `\`. Example: `sort:saved-desc label:\"Send to Kindle\"`
