Convert EPUB books to structured Markdown

EPUB is great for reading and poor for processing. Scan Hero extracts chapters, metadata, and the table of contents from EPUB e-books into clean Markdown — each chapter a ## section, with a TOC generated automatically.

The result is ideal for indexing, full-text search, knowledge bases, or republishing to a static site.
