hello,

(I asked this question on Arch Linux forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=128418, but looks like calibre is currently most advanced application to perform this task and maybe here someone knows how to do it.)

If I understand correctly calibre recipes are for RSS feeds, not static websites.

But is there a way to convert static website into book in .mobi format?

For instance, there is a polish magazine archive here: http://archiwum.wiz.pl/spis_tematow.asp, is there a way to generate .mobi from it?

There are many websites like that, with previous issues, old articles, or just stories. It would be awesome to generate ebook from them and read them on kindle instead monitor, but I wasn't able to find out how to do it.

I can use wget and curl to download tree of html files, that's not the problem. But how to convert such tree into ebook? I assume calibre recipes do something like that. Do you have any tips or ready solutions?
