Would it be possible to add an epub option for this? Or failing that, some way to display every post in one long html page with formatting so that it could be converted that way?

Hi Mr. Ploppy, i'm not sure that it would be a trivial thing to implement an epub version of the "download this thread" feature, but we could look into it. meanwhile, to possibly get a bit closer, have you tried using the "show printable version" feature ? it's in the same menu (thread tools) as "download". it still breaks the thread up into pages but there's an option to display 40 posts per page which does help a bit. for very long threads i'm not sure it's really feasible to display the entire thread on one page ; imagine waiting for several hundred posts to load in the same window !!!

Can Calibre's news fetcher do this? I'm not sure if it's feasible as I've only used the function a few times. Maybe it's worth looking into?

good question. i honestly don't know. but worth looking into, definitely.

The idea of having it all on one page is so that I can use this:

http://web2fb2.net/

I know I could add each page to that in order, but then you get a lot of bits that are repeated.
