# Mangle #
+Mangle is a cross-platform image converter and optimizer built for reading Manga on the Amazon Kindle and other E-ink
+devices written in Python. With this application you can easily:
+
+* Sort and organize images from different directories; bulk rename feature exists for output to the Kindle.
+* Optionally re-save images in a format Kindle will be sure to understand with no visible quality loss.
+* Downsample and rotate images for optimal viewing on Kindle, convert to grayscale to save space and improve contrast.
+* Automatically generate book meta-data so that your Manga is always properly detected and viewable in-order.

around with it and reading about certain undocumented features that the Kindle has to offer. After a couple of hours I

+## Usage ##
-Mangle is cross platform, and doesn't require an install (it's a standalone executable that you can run from anywhere).
-It is also "environmentally friendly" by not messing with your registry or modifying your system in any way. If you ever
-want to uninstall it, just delete the executable and you're done.
+1. Add the desired images and image directories to the current book.
+2. Re-order the images as needed (files pre-sorted alphabetically).
+3. Configure the book title and image processing options.
+4. Create a root-level directory on your Kindle called `pictures` (case sensitive).
+5. Export your images, selecting the `pictures` directory you just created.
+6. Enjoy your Manga (if it doesn't show up, press Alt+Z while on the home menu).
-## Usage Instructions ##
+## Installation ##
-Mangle is pretty easy to use, so this won't be really in-depth. If you have any questions drop me a line though.
+Pre-build binaries are available for the platforms listed below. I don't have the means to make MacOS X releases myself,
+so I am providing the old (and unsupported) package built by Rob White instead. Linux users should run Mangle directly
+from source.
-1. Add images to the current book by selecting the `Book | Add | Files` or `Book | Add | Directory` menu items.
-2. If certain images are not in the order you want, select them in the window, and select the `Book | Shift | Up` or
- `Book | Shift | Down` menu items.
-3. Configure the book title and image processing options by selecting `Book | Options`; this will be the title you see
- in the Kindle home menu.
-4. Create a root-level directory on your SD memory card/Kindle called `pictures` (case might matter).
-5. Once you are satisfied with the your images and options select `Book | Export` and select the `pictures` directory
- you just created.
-6. After the export is complete your new Manga books will show up along with all your other books (if they don't for
- some reason, press Alt+Z while on the home menu).

-## Running From Source ##
-
-As Mangle is written in [Python](/tags/python/), a scripting language, it's trivial to get it up and running on the
-operating system of your choice. First you should make sure that you have the required dependencies installed:
+To run Mangle from source make sure you have [Python](https://www.python.org/) and the following dependencies installed:
* [PyQT4](http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download)
* [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/)
* [Python Imaging Library (PIL)](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/)
* [ReportLab](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/reportlab)
-Now you can fetch the [latest version of the code](https://github.com/FooSoft/mangle/) and run the `mangle.pyw` script
-to execute Mangle.

-## Downloads ##

-If you don't want to run Mangle from source, you can use the following pre-built binaries. As I don't have the means to
-make MacOS X releases myself, I am providing the slightly out of date (and unsupported) package built by Rob White in
-its place. Linux users should execute the Python scripts with the interpreter and libraries installed on their system.
