HTML and PDF hyperlink support.
Hi there,
Here's my question: Are there any eReaders on the market that support HTML offline browsing ? If ripped a lot of website to my PC and I'd like to be able to browse them on an eReader. Some of my pdf ebooks consist of several separate pdf files that are hyperlinked. Clicking on a link opens the destination pdf file on my PC. I would like to know if there are any eReaders that support this.. |

You can convert the offline websites to an ebook format. calibre comes with recipes for scraping many news sites, for example.
I don't see how hyperlinked PDFs can ever work out, since the link will die as soon as you move the linked file or transfer the first PDF to a new device/computer. Unless you mean the 2nd PDF is on the internet. In which case I know the Kindle can open hyperlinks from within ebooks (including from PDFs) in the browser. Books can be downloaded from the browser in mobi/prc/azw/azw3 formats. There is a hack that will allow you to download anything, including PDF. I don't know about other ereaders. |

I didn't know about the conversion option with Calibre.
Thanx for the tip ! I've got some pdf's ebooks that consist of several hyperlinked pdf files, one for each chapter. I presume the hyperlinks are relative, and I know for sure that the files can't be renamed or moved to another folder without breaking things because I tested it. I'd like to make my own customized menu and link to my ebooks on the eReader. It would be cool to be able to roll my own menu with pdf or html files using hyperlinks to point to other sub-menus and ebooks... |

I'd suggest converting them to one document. I didn't know people made relative PDFs like that, but it seems awfully inconvenient to have to open multiple files like that.
