Changing web pages to PDF's using Web2book

Converting webpages (located on my computer) to PDF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just bought a Sony Reader last week. It is great.

Here is my problem: I have about 3,000 webpages that are on my local computer. Each one is a conversion of a single book. I have tried to convert them to PDF by opening them in Internet Explorer, and using the local address as the URL in Web2book. Web2book gives me the following message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: A port was expected because of there is a colon (':') present but the port could not be parsed.
at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind)
at System.Uri..ctor(String uriString)
at web2book.Utils.GetUrlResponse(String url, String& error, String postData, ICredentials creds, String contentType)

at web2book.MainForm.AddSource(ContentSourceList sourceClass, ContentSource source, Boolean isAutoUpdate)

I can get around this by posting each webpage on my Geocities site, but that is a lot of extra work. Any idea how I can convert the local html file without doing all that?

Thanks!!

Why do you want to convert them to PDF?

I would be willing to change the html to other types of files, as long as they keep all the formatting. When I used Web2book, they came out looking nice on the Sony Reader.

Do you have another format they could be changed to?

Thanks!!

I downloaded your program libprs500, and it did a great job converting the html files, and it let me add the titles and authors, which were not showing correctly earlier.

Great program!
