How to remove furigana when importing .epub files

yes I am. The only thing that changed is that I started reading light novels. As far as I’m seeing, it’s only happening with light novels (but I haven’t tried extensively)- and that with all of the light novels I have tried (about 5). I don’t know if it has something to do with that.

I’ve just found a workaround for it, which I’ll post here in case anyone else would have the same issue:

  1. make an EPUB of the file if it’s not already epub (leave the furigana in the file)
  2. drop the EPUB in the online ereader: https://ttu-ebook.web.app/
  3. Switch off furigana in the ereader
  4. Select all the text and copy paste in a word document.

That’s it.

I still add the following steps to get a good layout:

  1. Add extra line breaks by dropping the text here: Add Line Breaks

  2. Copy the new text and paste it again in word.

  3. Change font and size if needed.

  4. Save the document and import into the lingq 5.0 importer (better layout than ling 4.0)
