Hello,
I have just purchased a PRS300 to replace my ebookwise 1150 (?) which I am giving to my wife to replace her REB1100.
My PRS300 has not arrived yet but I am excited at the possibilities.
Converting content to IMP was often a pain and fraught with errors and problems.
I am hoping someone can recommend software or methods to accomplish the capturing and converting of forum posts for offline reading (bedtime, lunchtime, etc.).
I realize that it can be as simple as:
- Open the website
- Ctrl+A (select all)
- Ctrl+C (copy to clipboard)
- Open Word
- Ctrl+V (copy from clipboard)
- Save
- Convert
- Rinse and Repeat
However, I am looking for a little more. I would love to find some software that intelligently strips repetitive information such as post count, ranking, and signatures.
In trying to do it manually, I find myself in a position that I might as well have read it at my computer for the amount of time I spent preparing the ebook files.
I am concerned that a simple offline web browser is inadequate because of difficulty in picking depth of link retrieval or limitations on domain.
Here are links to some of the forums I am interested in downloading content from...
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/
http://forum.egosoft.com/
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/
I have noticed several possibilities listed on this site but I am hoping that someone has some experience to share in what would be most useful for me.
Any suggestions and experience will be appreciated.
If worst comes to worst, I may try to write a utility to do some of these things but I don't want to invest that time if someone has already crossed that bridge.
By the way, this is my first post. I have been a lurker off and on and appreciate the opinions here as they helped me decide upon the PRS300 as my new device. (I hope I like it as much when it gets here as I think I will.) This seems to be a friendly and warm community.
Thanks for all you have done so far and I hope to be a contributor in the future.
