MY method downloads chapter 1 of a number of fanfics, converts that into a single HTML file, and then I upload that into the Sony. I get 20 beginnings. That way, if 15 of them are bad (and 15 of them ARE bad..) , I can go and get the complete of the other five, and move on.

It's a lot faster a method than downloading 20 , converting 20, and uploading 20 into the reader.. only to not get past page 1 on 15 of them.

Fair enough. The downloader I used can save in a couple of different formats,
So I just copy and paste 20 7 digit numbers into it, then wait 5 mins while they download, the drop them into LibPRS give them all the same author "FANFIC" then drop them into my Reader. job done

Whereas I click a single button on a desktop and upload an entire formatted LRF "sample pack" to my device

now now... tell the whole truth!

Surely You also have to type in the story codes too!?

And remember when I finish I have 20 complete stories to read or delete... you dont have any

For my extractor program? No.

I don't have to type any codes in I just give the URL of the main page (which I copy and paste) and then the python does it's thing, and interfaces with Kovid's stuff to end up with an LRF file.. which, if I have the reader plugged in, gets added.

If I find something I want, I can use another extracter to get the whole thing.. but I'm even adjusting my program to have a GUI where if I find something I like, I can simply click on a bunch of them and get the whole versions of each, sorted into their own LRF.
