Calibre comes with a lot of CLI - see https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/cli-index.html https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/cli-index.html

  Indeed it does. I know that I am not entitled to dictate Calibre's direction, but it would be nice if these tools were cleanly broken out with minimal dependencies. If I recall correctly, the Calibre developers are not interested in this and have stated it explicitly and the only real alternative I have heard of is ebook-converter [1] which simply lifted the relevant portions of code out of Calibre.

    >the Calibre developers are not interested I know it was not a criticism but I would like to point out that Calibre seems to be developed also entirely by one person [0]. I understand why they would be hesitant to make big changes that would generate more work for them that would not be seen by most (GUI) users.
