I made a new upgrade on git's master branch this morning:
The name of cache files was just <original file name without extension>.pdf. Cause of this, if we alternately dealt with different files having the same name, zaread couldn't understand that they referred to separate original documents and kept reconverting them every time. Now cache file names are in form <checksum>_<file size>_<original file name without extension>.pdf. This way if we deal with different files with same name zaread doesn't risk to overwrite a cache file used for another document.
I rewrote the code in a more readable way
Now markdown conversion is made through md2pdf instead of pandoc (that's because pandoc depends on texlive, which installs >500MB of stuff).
From my first tests everything seems to work like a charm (with every supported format), but of course before upgrading here on AUR further tests would be appreciated

Hi, I'm the creator of the project, i didn't know that this script was used by so many people, just checked my github notifications after years... didn't even know that there were an AUR project for it. Just made some update basing on pull requests I received on github

There is anew PR for zaread on Github. Could you integrate that fix as well? It fixes (the currenty broken) ebook conversion.
