ABOUT

harmonica chunks comics ebooks into smaller ebooks. This mitigates glitches when transfering or reading ebooks.

NOTE

When sourcing the current working directory (.), then the targets automatically reposition up to the parent directory, treating the source as immutibile. This reduces the risk of successive harmonica operations nesting archives inside each other.

WARNING

Nested directories within ebooks are currently unsupported.

When in doubt, backup source files onto a separate volume before running harmonica.
