New RSS-to-PDF feature by Feedbooks.com
We just released a tool allowing you to convert single RSS feeds into PDF files formatted for the Sony Reader and iRex iliad. We'll release more advanced features in the future, including the possibility to create PDFs from multiple RSS feeds, and some sort of widgets (Sudoku, weather forecast, crosswords, etc).
Right now, the RSS -> PDF conversion is in still beta and we'd like to test it extensively during the next few weeks. The conversion already supports TOC + images in feeds, and basic formattings such as bold/italic/simple tables. Just like with other features from Feedbooks, we offer PDF output templates for A4/Sony/iLiad. You can also customize the output the way you want. We're looking for bugs and ways to improve this new core feature -- any feedback is welcome! Link: http://www.feedbooks.com/news Last edited by Alexander Turcic; 03-17-2007 at 03:28 PM.

This is probably something I could use now and then. It looks even better than the Java program I was working on to do pretty much the same thing.

I've started playing with Dapper and Yahoo Pipes too... Any website could be extracted using these sorts of tools together, I'll work on this and if I get it right I'll do a screencast about it.

Just added an example of sudoku: http://download.feedbooks.com/sudoku.pdf
Is the size right for your eyes/iLiad ? I'm working on generating random sudokus now. I was wondering... are people using sudoku generators or special websites/feeds mostly ? I guess it would be possible to parse some of these websites too. |
