Automate the process for fetching new essays using Github Actions

I tried uploading the EPUB file to my Kobo, but it doesn't open.
Then checked it with EPUB Validator and got a lot of errors in conversions.

3 Fatal errors and many minor ones:

• FATAL(RSC-016): ./books/Bo/databases/eBookIt/temp_uploads/1673860091.epub/EPUB/text/ch088.xhtml(80,17): Fatal Error while parsing file: The element type "quotation" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".
• FATAL(RSC-016): ./books/Bo/databases/eBookIt/temp_uploads/1673860091.epub/EPUB/text/ch148.xhtml(35,143): Fatal Error while parsing file: Attribute name "Name" associated with an element type "Your" must be followed by the ' = ' character.
• FATAL(RSC-016): ./books/Bo/databases/eBookIt/temp_uploads/1673860091.epub/EPUB/text/ch189.xhtml(36,565): Fatal Error while parsing file: The element type "outgroup" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

PS. Table of content in the EPUB and MOBI will be helpful for easy jumping to specific essays

I tried uploading the EPUB using Amazon's Send To Kindle and it failed twice.

Unfortunately no logs to parse through, just says 'failed to deliver'.

hey,

there're 3 new writings:

The Reddits
How to Start Google
The Best Essay

The RSS file is outdated and because of that the collection is missing the last essays. Probably it the main html page can be scanned for the full list of the essays

Hello,

Thank you for doing this! But I wonder how do I get the latest (Oct 2023) updates using this repo? I want to export .mobi files with the latest updates from Paul. Let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey, Thanks a ton for this!
Unfortunately i'm stuck at the final step where i need to concat the md files. The cat function mentioned in the python code wasn't working so i tried a bunch of different libraries. still no luck. Any idea about the line? (python windows)

I was hoping if there was a way to send this to my kindle to read. I tried sending the epub to my kindle using the "Send to Kindle" service by Amazon - but it seems like it is unable to be sent as there is some issue with processing it.

I was wondering if anyone knows a way.
