I don't know how well Calibre would work with several thousand pages, though. If there are tables or images as well, it would be even more of a challenge.
Ah, thanks for the advice. I finally tried what you said and converted almost the entire website into mobi format. I ended up with a single ENORMOUS book, 15.5 megabytes long.
ENORMOUS!
But hey, it works.
Thanks for the advice.

Still, I hope one day soonish Amazon will change some software so the browser can read HTML files stored onboard, instead of HTML files just on the internet.
