Hi! Thanks for opening this issue. Have you considered contributing this application with a pull request by packaging it yourself? If you plan on using this application on the long term, it will certainly be beneficial to have you as its maintainer. Should you need help with packaging, feel free to reach out on Matrix or Discourse.

It's very difficult to package as of now (~25.11), because gensim, a core dependency of ebook2audiobook is marked broken for modern Python interpreters. I suggest running the Docker version for now if that is possible; until gensim gets sorted out it's very unlikely to be natively packaged for Nix (also it pulls in about 10 other modules but I already have written derivations for those)

Hi again. We've changed our policies recently, and unfortunately, in order to mitigate the unsustainable growth of unmaintained packages, Nixpkgs is no longer using package requests to coordinate new package additions.

That said, we still encourage you to contribute this package as a Pull Request yourself - should you need any help during packaging, feel free to reach out on Matrix or Discourse. You are also welcome to open custom Tracking issues if you would like the assistance of other volunteers in packaging a software ecosystem.

This change has the benefit of decreasing future maintainer burden on the long term, and was implemented after several contributors reached a consensus. You can read more about this on Pull Request #391926 and Issue #425040.
