Convert an EPUB to an audiobook
Drop an EPUB and Pagetape reads its table of contents, so every chapter of the book becomes a chapter mark in the audiobook. You pick the voice after hearing it read your own book.
Your file is read in this browser. Only the chapters you choose are sent to us, and only when you convert.
How to do it
- 01Drop the .epub file below. It is opened in your browser, nothing is uploaded yet.
- 02Untick the pages you do not want read, like the copyright page and the index. They start unticked when we can tell.
- 03Press Listen on a few voices, then convert. You get an M4B file with chapters and the cover.
- EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 both work. Chapters come from the nav document or toc.ncx; a chapter split over several files stays one chapter.
- Footnote numbers and page-number markers are left out of the reading.
- One price per book: $1.99 up to 4 hours of audio, $3.99 up to 12 hours, $5.99 up to 24, $8.99 up to 48.
Questions
- Does it work with Kindle books?
- Only DRM-free files. Kindle (AZW3, KFX) and other DRM books cannot be converted. If you have a DRM-free copy, Calibre can save it as EPUB.
- How are chapters named?
- From the book's table of contents, the same names your ebook reader shows. Books without a table of contents get one chapter per file, named by its heading.
- Can I convert only part of a book?
- Yes. Tick only the chapters you want; the price follows the length of what you tick.
One price per book
