With the time passing by, I had many ebooks in various formats/folders/volumes. It became difficult to search, so I've coded this small script. Nothing fancy here, but it's really helpful and time saving !

It provides an easy way to build and search basic informations about your ebooks. The data stored are the filename, the full path and the creation date.

To make things easier, create a symbolic link e pointing to e.py

ln -s /opt/local/bin/e.py /opt/local/bin/e

Edit e.py and

• Modify the list of ebook extensions to be retrieved, add or remove as you need
• Set the path to the different folders storing your ebooks
• Set the full path to the ebooks sqlite db to be created

jeff@macbookproi5~/Downloads$ e
usage: e [-h] [-f FIND] [-b]

Allow to build or find ebooks

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FIND, --find FIND  find ebook
  -b, --build           build database
None
```

##### To create/reinitialize the db and rebuild the data :
```
e -b 
```
or 
```
e --build
```

##### Search for ebooks
```
e -f search_string
```

Feel free to send me ideas of improvements or new features.
