Hello Georges-Mouse,

thanks for your post. I try to explain the procedure and hope you will have success after it.

- Save the script somewhere, e.g. on the Desktop, don't copy the text in any file, you can just use the save functionality from the browser and you will have the runEpub.sh saved.
- Create a folder on somewhere, e.g. on the Desktop, called convertediBooks
- Open the terminal (the nice command line application)
- navigate to the location where the runEpub.sh ist saved (use the command 'cd' for that)
- run the script with following command: 'bash runEpub.sh /home/myUserName/Desktop/convertediBooks /home/myUserName/Desktop/runEpub.log'

The script knows where iBooks is storing the books, it will convert them and then put the converted books as ePub into the folder which you have created. The log file is optional.

Just keep in mind that this doesn't work with DRM protected files as far as I remember.
