docrails_kindle

This gem lets you generate a Kindle version of the Ruby on Rails Guides with working section and article navigation.

Install

gem install docrails_kindle

Prerequisistes

Download KindleGen 2 and put it on your PATH.

How to use

gem install railsguides_kindle
git clone [email protected]:lifo/docrails.git
cd docrails/railties/guides
KINDLE=1 rake generate_guides
cd output/kindle
docrails_kindle

The output document will be called something like rails-guide.2012-11-18.mobi. Don't confuse it with the other mobi document that gets generated by rake genereate_guides, which looks like ruby_on_rails_guides_16c5f48.mobi.

You can transfer this mobi file to your Kindle.

This program is a rough prototype. Some internal links may not work. Other defects in the resulting ebook may exist. Please file issues.

Also, if the docsrails team would like to incorporate this into their rake tasks code, please take and modify my code as you see fit.
