Downloading Images

p_s · 02-28-2018, 09:20 AM

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this.

I have over 9k books in my library, some of which have images that have been added from third-party image hosting sites/tumblr images. Because Archive of Our Own doesn't host images and so the epub/mobi files downloaded from AO3 only link to the images.

Is there a way I can get the books to download the corresponding images into the epub instead, so that even if the hosting ends, my book will still have the image?

I tried searching the forum for information on this, but there doesn't seem to be any. Please help.

Thanks.

Thanks Kovid.

So, it has to done individually? There's no way to do this in large quantities?

Re-downloading the fics using the FanFicFare plugin will download and embed images, I believe.

Is there a way to format the books the way AO3 formats them? The format of the downloads from fanficfare aren't as nice.
