Convert CBZ/CBR/Dir into Epub for e-reader devices (Kindle Devices, ...)

My goal is to make a simple, crossplatform, and fast tool to convert comics into epub.

Epub is now support by Amazon through [SendToKindle](https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/), by Email or by using the App. So I've made it simple to support the size limit constraint of those services.

# Installation

First ensure to have a working version of GO: [Installation](https://go.dev/doc/install)

Then install the last version of the tool:
```
go install github.com/celogeek/go-comic-converter@latest
```

To force install a specific version:
```
go install github.com/celogeek/go-comic-converter@TAG
# Ex: go install github.com/celogeek/go-comic-converter@v1.0.0
```

Add GOPATH to your PATH
```
export PATH=$(go env GOPATH)/bin:$PATH
```

# Usage

## Convert directory

Convert every ".jpg" file found in the input directory:

```
go-comic-converter --profile KS --input ~/Download/MyComic
```

By default it will output: ~/Download/MyComic.epub

## Convert CBZ, ZIP, CBR, RAR, PDF

Convert every ".jpg" file found in the input directory:

```
go-comic-converter --profile KS --input ~/Download/MyComic.[CBZ,ZIP,CBR,RAR,PDF]
```

By default it will output: ~/Download/MyComic.epub

## Convert with size limit

If you send your ePub through Amazon service, you have some size limitation:
  - Email  : 50Mb (including encoding, so 40Mb for RAW file)
  - App    : 50Mb
  - Website: 200Mb

You can split your file using the "--limitmb MB" option:

```
go-comic-converter --profile KS --input ~/Download/MyComic.[CBZ,ZIP,CBR,RAR,PDF] --limitmb 200
```

If you have more than 1 file the output will be:
  - ~/Download/MyComic PART_01.epub
  - ~/Download/MyComic PART_02.epub
  - ...

The ePub include as a first page:
  - Title
  - Part NUM / TOTAL
