I use calibre as few as I can, I don't like the workflow, it's desperately slow...

I basically use Calibre (installed directly from their website and not the version in the repo) for the Library functionalities and if I only need to convert 1 or 2 books. I connect to my library with "Moon+ Reader Pro" in Android via a sshtunnel.

but I could use it to translate a 3000 books collection and hope I don't need it before having read all of them :-)

For mass conversion I use pandoc[1] Charles Footnotes: [1] http://pandoc.org/ .

Pandoc is actually in the Leap repository, for those who have "taken the Leap" without flinching (yes, I am looking at you, Basil ;) ). It looks like a very impressive piece of work -- but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how it uses MathJax, which is a javascript package. (Or does it merely translate TeX source into MathJax-compatible source?)

I don't know- I have no need for maths. However, have you looked at this section of the user guide: http://pandoc.org/README.html#math-rendering-in-html ?

Thanks very much for this, Charles... now, if it only had a GUI :D

But, I think I shall be installing it and dumping calibre

No problem here. I install directly from the Author's site rather than any packages from the distro.

Same here. Ruben, could you explain what problem you have with Calibre? With more than one line? :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Well, I'm not doing it again. It kills the box. It forks hundreds of processes.

Not here. I just launched it. Version 2.44.1, current version is 2.53.0 Unless yours need to run a batch of processes to update books or something, but it should have a limit. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

No. Just did a batch conversions and this is output of ps:

However, I use the pristine version from their website.
