view html (offline page)

mersault · 09-06-2011, 04:30 PM

Hi,

I downloaded an entire webpage in order to view it offline. I transfered to the Sony ereader 950 and I couldn't see the .html files. I read that 950 has support for html. Is this support only for webpages through the web browser? If not. How can I see the offline pages in the 950? Can I "follow" links in the offline pages as in a normal PC (File:\\\... etc)?

Thanks and best regards.

any ideas?.
What I'm trying to do is to save an entire wiki and trying to mantain the hyperlinks between all the pages.

Best regards.

Well, file:// could work.
Root of internal memory is /Data. You can't access SD/MS cards that way.

Another thought, why don't convert it to epub, which is essentially bunch of html + tiny bit of metadata?

You should import it into Calibre then convert it to ePub. My 650 won't see .html files you simply copy or transfer using the Reader program, and I suspect the 950 would act the same way.

Hi,

When I tried to import the index page to calibre, the program tells me that there's and error and nothing happens.
It's a wikipedia-like web page so could the several loops ( link to A -> link to B -> link to A) the problem for this type of page?

Best regards.

The links wouldn't cause that.

You should be able to click on "More info" (or similar button, don't remember) and see the actual error output. You'll see a list of errors, and what you want to look at is the very bottom or last error, which is the one that sets off the chain of other errors.
