If you are trying to transform your digital book into an audiobook, you have several options for a direct conversion. Unfortunately, you will not be able to convert Open eBook files directly to Ogg Vorbis Audio files (.epub to .ogg conversion); at least not without a simple workaround.
Tools, such as Balabolka or Narrator or new AI audio online services, allow users to extract texts from EPUB ebooks and export them as speech in MP3 audio format. You can then easily convert MP3 to OGG.

Understanding epub and ogg file formats
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely used eBook file format that supports reflowable content, making it adaptable to various screen sizes and devices. It is primarily used for storing and distributing digital books and publications.
OGG is a free, open container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. Most commonly, it is used for audio files encoded with the Vorbis codec, offering high-quality sound in a compressed format. OGG files are popular for music and audiobooks due to their efficient compression and open-source nature.
Why convert epub to ogg?
Converting an EPUB eBook to an OGG audio file allows users to listen to books instead of reading them. This is especially useful for visually impaired users or those who prefer audiobooks for convenience during commutes or multitasking.

Since EPUB is a text-based format and OGG is an audio format, the conversion process involves two main steps:
- Text-to-speech (TTS) conversion: Convert the EPUB content into spoken audio using TTS software.
- Export or save the audio as OGG: Use software that supports saving or exporting the generated audio in the OGG format.
