# kindlestrip

A pip install-able conversion of Paul Durrant's kindlestrip library to strip the penultimate record from a Mobipocket file. (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96903)

## Scope

`kindlestrip` targets **legacy `.mobi` files produced by KindleGen 1.1+**, which embed a
compressed copy of the book's source files in an `SRCS` record — roughly doubling the file
size. Stripping that record reclaims the space without affecting the book.

This is a niche, maintenance-mode utility. Amazon has since deprecated KindleGen and moved
away from the MOBI format (Send to Kindle no longer accepts `.mobi`), so it's most useful
for archiving or slimming down an existing collection of older KindleGen-built `.mobi`
files. It does nothing for EPUB or KFX.

## Usage

To install:

```shell
pip install kindlestrip
```

To use:

```shell
$ kindlestrip input.mobi output.mobi

$ du -sh *
268K    input.mobi
200K    output.mobi
```

Or run it without installing, straight from PyPI with
[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

```shell
$ uvx kindlestrip input.mobi output.mobi
```

`kindlestrip.py` is also a self-contained [PEP 723](https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/)
script, so you can run the local file without installing anything:

```shell
$ uv run kindlestrip.py input.mobi output.mobi
```

Options:

```shell
$ kindlestrip --help
$ kindlestrip -d input.mobi output.mobi   # also dump the stripped SRCS records
```

## Development

Requires Python 3.10–3.14. Common tasks are in the `justfile`:

```shell
$ just test    # run pytest
$ just lint     # ruff check + format
$ just build    # build sdist + wheel
```

## Releasing

Versions follow [CalVer](https://calver.org/) (`YYYY.MM.PATCH`) and are managed by
[bump-my-version](https://github.com/callowayproject/bump-my-version). Releases publish to
PyPI automatically via GitHub Actions using [Trusted
Publishing](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/) (OIDC — no API tokens).

To cut a release:

```shell
$ just release          # bump the patch (e.g. 2026.7.0 -> 2026.7.1), commit, tag, push
$ just release month    # start a new month (recomputes YYYY.MM from today's date)
```

`just release` bumps the version in `kindlestrip.py` and `pyproject.toml`, creates a
commit and a bare CalVer git tag (e.g. `2026.7.1`), and runs `git push --follow-tags`.
Pushing that tag triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which builds with `uv build`
and publishes to PyPI. Only a version tag publishes — a plain `git push` never does.
