Feature request: support converting from local files without mangadex #42

First of all, thanks for making this open source tool.

This seems to be the only tool supporting kindle scribe's native resolution, other tools I've found use kindlegen under the hood which will unfortunately scale the image to 1440*1920, which needless to say is not something most scribe owners would want.

While mangadex is great, there are other sources, currently this tool supports converting from local files but insist on getting metadata from mangadex, which is not always favorable.

I'm thinking of a easy hack, when providing 0 as the UUID, just ignore retrieving metadata, and convert local files as is, that should be all I need.

But I'm not sure if you would like to merge this, since I have no interest in maintaining a fork.

Otherwise maybe I should write a separate tool to use the mobi module you wrote.

Sorry for the long post, and any suggestions other than my maybe stupid ideas would be great.

Hi! I think you will be glad to hear that such a tool already exists at tsopeh/mapaki. The project also uses my mobi library for generating e-books, so if kojirou is working well for you, mapaki should be too.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
