Thank you for the feedback and I'm sorry you had those issues. I cannot replicate at the moment on Ubuntu 24.04 but will check back on this. I presume it is something simple going wrong with how I am getting the home directory in golang and checking if the path exists.

Your feedback on ebook-convert is very valid. I can take a look at breaking it up. (Granted I am not sure how much of a lift that would be)

The intention seems to have been to skip running ebook-convert if the input file is already a text file, but it runs it anyway. So I recompiled it to not do that.

...at which I did some more digging and realized that (for my purposes anyway -- operating on txt files), QPA can simply be replaced with piper itself!

    cat book.txt |  piper --model [model] --output_file book.wav
(which I found kind of funny)

Re: the ebook-convert dependency, I wonder if there are any feasible alternatives? My first thought was pandoc, which is ~140MB, but I guess that's smaller than Calibre's ~1400MB (!!!).

Issues should be fixed now in the latest release.
