This gem lets you generate a Kindle version of the Ruby on Rails Guides with working section and article navigation.
The DocRails project does provide its own experimental Rake task to generate a Kindle version of the Rails Guides. However, its section and article navigation doesn't work correctly (at least on a Kindle Touch).
If you just want to download the ebook I generated with this tool, here it is:
But to keep up with updates to the Rails Guides, you may want to periodically generate the Rails Guides ebook yourself. For this, please read on.
gem install docrails_kindle
Download KindleGen 2 and put it on your PATH.
gem install railsguides_kindle
git clone git@github.com:lifo/docrails.git
cd docrails/railties/guides
KINDLE=1 rake generate_guides
cd output/kindle
docrails_kindle
The output document will be called something like
rails-guide.2012-11-18.mobi. Don't confuse it with the other mobi document
that gets generated by rake generate_guides, which looks like
ruby_on_rails_guides_16c5f48.mobi.
You can transfer this mobi file to your Kindle.
This program is a rough prototype. Some internal links may not work. The css styling may need to be improved. Other bugs may exist. Please file issues or fork and submit pull requests.
Also, if the DocsRails team would like to incorporate and adapt this code for their project, please go for it.
