Why this library?

It is very simple. We needed good Python library capable of handling EPUB3 files.

We needed something which would help us produce valid EPUB3 files with all the latest features. We needed something which would help us read EPUB2 and EPUB3 files. We needed something which would help us produce valid HTML for EPUB3. We needed tool which would be able to recognise blocks of source code in our HTML and do syntax highlighting for us (add insert external CSS files for us). Things like that.

We couldn't find something which could fit our needs so we decided to write something on our own.

Does it support Kindle files?

We are working on it now. It is in branch "mobi" and for now it can parse mobi format.
