This is not related strictly to your pluing.
But your plugin is the only one that does something similar to what I am looking for.
And the only one that seems to be dealing with opds format.
So I provide you the idea to see if you are interested in developing it further.
What I am looking for is a way to provide access to the users of my wordpress site to a collection of books.
I have generated the opds catalog (and html) of the book collection using calibre2opds.
I have put it on a web server, and it works, you can read the opds catalog as it if were a RSS source, or browse the catalog using the html generated web pages.
The problem is that it is not integrated with the wordpress site, and you cannot control user access implemented in my wordpress site.
It would be great to have a plugin that generate a wordpress dynamic page and displays in its content the content of the opds catalog that you have configured to display from a directory in the site.
If it could display a catalog from an offsite catalog (using ftp access to it or http) it would be better, as it would provide an interface and user access control to the catalog and books filed elsewhere.
I think it won’t be all that difficult to do for somebody with php and opds format expertise.
Best regards

Found that some epub covers (cover_with_text.png) are being generated in the WordPress root and wp-admin/ directory. Running a multisite install, but I’m getting the impression it is not multisite related.Doesn’t seem necessary to do much caching, but even so, it is integral to use a content directory.
Also wondering what the general development track looks like and whether there is any plan to updae the PHPePub version, which seems to have seen recent work:
]]>Hi,
great plugin idea!
Does your plugin add a link to post pages, i.e.
<link rel="alternate" type="application/epub+zip" title="EPUB" ref="..." />
I imagine this can be very useful for tools that grab/convert EPUB from websites; they could look for such links first before attempting to create something themselves.
Do you already create EPUB 3? If not, when do you intend to switch? In particular, I have posts that contain math; EPUB 2 does not work too well with that.
Can you add an option to turn off explicit EPUB storage? I don’t think they would be requested too often so I would like to avoid persistency of snapshots of dynamic data. If you want performance, caching plugins should do the work. Is the plugin built such so they can?

Thanks for the plugin!
I’ve installed & activated but no link is appearing on either posts or pages.
I’m using the Twenty Ten template (with no mods) on the site.
