@ anyone familiar w it. please,,, i beg you please tell me how to make epub files that aren't reliant on it looking pretty. all im looking for is how to make it a chunk of text that i can put into my screen reader. please,,, i want to cry

#shut up danni's talking #i have a few fics that i have to read exclusively via desktop or on a google docs copy bc i use a text replacer #to even out some quirks in how people are referred to and a few grammatical tweaks and such #so downloading an epub version of the fic from ao3 won't keep my corrections/tweaks #but i need that epub for my screen reader however i cannot under any circumstances find a way to make an epub file #that has chapters so that i can skip to chapters like it's formated in the ao3 epubs #this might be highly specific and niche but i cannot find ANY information on it #and while my screenreader can read pdfs the chapter function doesn't work and instead just marks individual pages #WHICH DOESN'T HELP WHEN IM GONNA BE READING A FIC THAT'S 300+ PAGES #not to even mention when i want to read a series??? if each installment is only 2k+ words and there's like 30 i want to just compile them #so that i can just load the whole series into it at once and not have to switch every ten minutes #i am v near to tears trying to find a way to do this when i have ZERO coding skills #and almost zero knowledge on computer formats esp when google only gives me 'writing the book' things when i search #for ebook makers like sobs that's not what i need and the things that i CAN find all have flowery-image heavy templates #BITCH I JUST NEED THE TEXT AND THE CHAPTER FUNCTION THIS SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD #i am fully aware that there are other screenreaders that you can just copy/paste things into #but i've done those before and they were INCREDIBLY annoying to use and i'd like to not go back to that #sigh #any help will be greatly appreciated thank you
