I used to use GrabMyBooks.

It worked tolerably well in Firefox Classic, and works in Waterfox, but does not work in Firefox Quantum. Main bug was that, unless I selected everything in the page, it would only pick one part-- e.g. one chapter. It would also have malformed tables.

I have also tried EpubPress.

It works in all versions. Main bug is that no matter what I do, without any workaround, it will often only pick one part. It mat also omitg tables.

I have also tried Save as Ebook.

It theoretically works in all versions. Main problem is grossly malformed epubs. Some will not open on Stody Hd, but converting to Mobi and back can make them open on Story Hd or Kindle. Some will open on Story Hd, but even converting to Mobi and back only lets my visit the 1st and last pages.

Pocket is supposed to be the big solution, but I can't get it to work on my Mac, and I can't install it on my Kindle or Story Hd.
