Update README.md

Librebook is a Python command-line utility which exports an OpenOffice/LibreOffice/Whatever- Writer .odt document to data files fit for further compilation with the Amazon's utility Kindlegen, thus allowing to make beautifully outlined ebooks out of Writer's documents.

Usage is very simple, e.g.:
librebook -l en mydocument.odt

After the processing, which is very fast, you'll find some other files in the same directory. You can edit them manually to better fit your needs and you know what to do, but it's not necessary. The output files are ready to be compiled with Kindlegen. Assuming you have Kindlegen installed and in your path, just type at the command line (e.g.):

kindlegen content.opf [plus whatever parameters you like]

Then you'll find mydocument.mobi. That's it.

WARNING: This software depends on Beautiful Soup 4. (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4)
Be sure to have bs4 installed before using Librebook or the program will not work.

NOTE: There's an OpenOffice/LibreOffice/Wathever plugin that does the same job much better for now. It's a much mature project named Writer2Epub and being a plugin you'll operate from a graphical interface. Check out for that, probably it will fit your needs much better.
I started this project because I needed a small project to familiarize with Python. At the same time I needed an utility focused on ebooks for Kindle, an application which I could improve and modify at my ease, since Writer2Epub is going to be bloated. Moreover I hate that sort of Visual Basic that comes with OpenOffice/LibreOffice/Whatever.

The current release of Librebook is still a quick'n dirty project and there's place for a lot of improvements. But it works.
