Linearize research papers/articles into readable ebooks.

About

-----------------------

This script (convert.sh) takes a pdf file, 

and tries to make it into a presentable ebook. 

This means text columns are not side-by-side any more, but moved to be one after another,

wide figures and tables are handled separately, and if necessary, rotated to fit the screen better.

A linearized html view and a epub file is created.

*Limitations*: This script renders the pdf to png files at high resolution, so that

all formulae and texts are presented correctly on the reader.

*Prerequisites*: imagemagick (convert), calibre (ebook-convert)

*Python Prerequisites*: : pypdf2, PIL, joblib, numpy
