Hello MobileRead,
Wanted to share something I've been working on.
Something I always wanted was a way to read webpages on my ereader.
Currently there are:
- Tools for sending single pages to your device (This creates too many short books)
- Tools for sending entire RSS feeds to your device (More content then I'm interested in. No control.)
I wanted a way to create custom books that contained exactly the webpages I was interested in.
Nobody built it, so I finally did! It's called EpubPress.
It's a chrome extension that let's you create ebooks from your open tabs.
How it works:
- Download the extension here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...ipkehhibchdeok
- Open any news articles/blog posts/webpages you want in your book as separate tabs.
- Click on the extension
- Select the tabs you want in your book.
- Click download
All the pages are sent to a service that removes ads/cruft and stitches all the content together into a .epub/.mobi file. The final result can be downloaded or emailed.
Benefits:
- Removes all the ads and cruft from webpages.
- Allows you to read your webpages offline.
- Supports .mobi and .epub (so should work with all your devices)
- Ability to email content directly to your device.
It's free. I'm not making money off it. Just a tool I always wanted and thought I would share.
You can get it on the Chrome Store here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...ipkehhibchdeok
And nerdy folk can see the source code for it here:

Hope it helps others the way it helps me!
