downloading from various story sites

bcarlson · 05-08-2011, 09:42 AM

I think this is the right area for this question, if not please let me know and I will move it.

I would like to use Calibre to download and convert stories from various sites. I would like to get stories from 365 Tomorrows, Fictionpress, and others that people can publish their own stories on. Can I do this? Is there a very easy way? I would like to see some interface where I am given a list of every story with the synopsis (if included) and I could just click on it.

Otherwise, does anyone know if there is a greasemonkey script that will display a link on website with a story that I can click on and it will open calibre and proceed with the download?

THanks

Check the new store system, that should, theoretically, be able to do what you want. I don't know, though, if you can do it practically.

any idea how to add a "store"? I am thinking I may have to set up 365 as a news feed. Others I will have to copy to wordpad and then convert to epub.

There's a sticky thread for store requests.
