Do you have access to the source of the ebook? If yes, you can use iSiloX to specify various URLs/Files in the Source Tab.

If you don't have the source files but only the compiled iSilo pdbs, I suggest you install iSilo for Windows which allows you to save the ebooks back to txt. Those txt files you can then use with iSiloX as described in my first paragraph.

If you use iSilo for Windows to save the content to .txt you lose the content, right.

What exactly happens when you use iSiloX for browing the target website? In iSiloX, you can go to "Options" -> HTTP and change the User-Agent string. For instance, click the "custom" field and change it to

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

This way, your web site has no direct way of knowing that you are using a spider software.
