Thanks much. rePub in Chrome is perfect.

FWIW, the following command in wget is pretty close to download a web page and its resources, but URLs still need to be post-edited to remove the garbage added after picture filenames (eg. .jpeg becomes .jpeg?blah, causing errors):

Code:

wget --restrict-file-names=ascii,windows --convert-links  --random-wait -U mozilla -e robots=off --span-hosts --domains=acme.com,cdn.acme.com --page-requisites --no-parent --directory-prefix=.\mydir https://acme.com/2024/09/22/blah.html

---
Edit: I also noted that the URLs of some pictures were not converted to point to a local file so won't be displayed in the EPUB. Also, SumatraPDF didn't like some useless <div> section in the EPUB created by Pandoc ("Couldn't render the page"; didn't try to see if it worked in the e-reader). Bottom line: First try one of the browser extensions before trying pandoc (or wget + Sigil/Calibre).
