Creating a "book" from a web page

Hampshire Nanny · 02-02-2015, 04:12 PM

I have been using Amazon's Send to Kindle browser add-on to send a web page to my Kindle. I'd really prefer using something in Calibre. I know about the recipes, but they run off of RSS/ATOM feeds. Have I missed something that will just grab a web page and turn it into an EPUB or AZW3 file?

Recipes work fine with webpages, they dont require RSS feeds. But they are not automated, in that they require more than just click a button to create. It is on my TODO list to someday create a simple tool that autogenerates and runs a basic recipe for a single webpage.

And there is also GrabMyBooks

It's has come up a few times here at MR, suggest you do a search for it.

Its 'main claim to fame' seems to be that you can clip multiple web pages into a single 'book' - e.g. a composite newspaper, which you could save to your calibre autoadd folder.

Is there a way to get GrabMyBooks to save directly to calibre? Maybe someone can make a plugin?
