EPUB eBook to Markdown Converter

EPUB is the standard format for eBooks distributed by publishers, libraries, and online retailers. While excellent for reading on e-readers and tablets, EPUB files are complex ZIP-based containers that AI models, documentation tools, and search systems cannot process directly. SaveTokens unpacks EPUB containers and converts each chapter to structured Markdown, preserving the full reading flow of the book.
