Epub Download?

[Eddie-Hartman]

How do I actually get the epub version to download? The gitbook link requires an account AND a phone number. Is that the only option?

I agree that an option for downloading and/or making the epub without creating an account would be nice. What I ended up doing was using Pandoc to create the epub myself.

Inside the directory for the language you want, run:

pandoc --metadata title='How To Be A Programmer' -o HowToBeAProgrammer.epub $(find -name '*.md' | sort)

It's a bit gnarly because sort puts the READMEs after the chapters, but it's good enough for me.

Hey! Yeah GitBook has changed it's format and unfortunately the links are broken. Ideally I'd like to get an ePub/PDF version bundled with the markdown files. I'd love some help getting this sorted as my time is limited..!

I can make a PR with a cleaned-up version of the command I used to generate the epub. My only reservation is my epub/PDF knowledge is pretty limited; the links in the ebook that I've made are broken, and I'm not sure of a clean way to fix the links without breaking the nice structure that exists in the GitHub repository.
