I recently got a Sony Reader PRS-505 and even published a review of it on my blog at http://www.chucksmith.de/?p=117 and I was wondering if anyone knows of a script to convert a wikisource book to an ePub file. I found the story of Max Havelaar at http://nl.wikisource.org/wiki/Max_Ha...elsmaatschappy which is in modern Dutch spelling and I'm looking to find an ePub version to read on my Sony Reader.

I found a version on Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/11024) and at Munseyes (http://www.munseys.com/book/14878/Max_Havelaar), but they both have the old Dutch spelling. Does anyone know of an way to convert a wikisource into an ePub without manually copying the source from each page and converting it by hand? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
