MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Complex HTML archive (ZIP), how to convert

Mixx · 09-27-2010, 03:47 PM

Hi,

I got a couple of HTML-ZIP archives (a folder tree in a ZIP file). It seems that while I can directly convert a ZIP-archive if there is only one HTML file in it, it does not work with a more complex zipped HTML directory that contains a bunch of HTML files, subfolders with further HTML files in them, css files and such. When I click "view" a window pops up showing the contents of the ZIP archive.

The browser of course can display it all. Is there any chance I could convert this complex structure into a MOBI file for the Kindle?

With Calibre or some other tool? Manual does not work, the book contains poems, a couple of hundred of them, each in a separate file. I would not mind if the index (indeces actually) all all lost and I end up with a flat file.

Thanks for any help/hints,

Mixx
