I've made an ebook (.epub file) out of the Pdfs of "My classmate Emma Lindberg" by [SimVenusArts].
It's very heavy on illustration, but as an epub with more text than pictures, I think it belong here in "Erotic Literature".
The pdfs I used can be found here: https://forum.allporncomix.com/threads/various-artists-hot-arts-and-sciences.1743/page-5#post-20657
1. I extracted the images and the text using "PDF24" (You can looks to my signature for more info, if you are interested).
2. I converted the images into .webp (90% quality) to reduce the file size (using "XnViewMP").
I did not do so for Chap.18, 19, and 20, because the size gain weren't much. These images are from the Author's Twitter account (with the text cropped out). That's because the pdfs of Chap. 18 to 25 seem to be of lesser quality (probably converted to jpg, then pdf again), so I think the twitter images are probably better (chap. 21 onward were not available there as of February 2024).
To Note: some epub readers might not display .webp images properly, even if they're now officially supported in the new standard. If so I'd be interested to know which eReaders display them and which don't.
3. I combined images and text again in a markdown (.md) text file. And I made a few corrections to the text when it seemed appropriate. Since I was not forced to keep image and text separate for each "pages", I tried to fit the images where it made the most sense in-between each paragraphs.
Personally, I'm fine reading stories in markdown format, with specialized software it looks fine enough (I use "Zettlr" on my PC, and "Markor" on my phone).
4. But for you guys, I converted the markdown file (and the images) into an epub file using "Pandoc" (which I discovered thanks to user "Venner" in the old 8Muse forum (the "Mastery" thread, from author Erenisch...)
5. I corrected the presentation of the ebook using the "Edit book" feature of the "Calibre" program (I edited the .css file)
If I convert further chapters (assuming I get my hands on them), I think I will simply edit this post with a more complete .epub.
