Best way to add short stories (i.e. tor.com original fictons) to library?

crazycropper · 06-15-2023, 02:16 PM

Apologies if this has come up before, I tried searching the forums here and at Plugins for any suggestions but didn't find anything. I also tried dotepub.com which I wasn't a fan of. I also know that Tor, specifically, occasionally releases Short Fiction Bundles but I don't believe they include all of the shorts released in the timeframe.

Thanks in advance!

Since you mentioned DotEpub I'm assuming you're looking for a way to download a webpage as ePub.

WebToEpub is mostly for webnovel-type sites, but I've used it with varying amounts of success with other sites.

I'm really just looking for the easiest/most efficient way. I only found/tried DotEpub due to another on mobileread from a while back.

Since posting I learned about recipes and while I think that may work I do not have the skills to create one and the Tor.com one that exists doesn't seem to work anymore. C'est la vie. I'll give WebtoEpub a shot and worst case I can edit the books. Thank you!

I've had good luck with ePub Creator, a FireFox addon. You input the author's name and title if necessary, and add it to Calibre and fix the metadata to your preferences. It makes a nicely formatted epub (that I can tell).
