Suggestion: add from URL

pedz · 04-08-2010, 09:07 AM

One thing I've started doing is pulling down web pages plus their needed pieces and giving it to Calibre. I've discovered that I can do:

/usr/local/bin/wget -nv -E -H -k -p -nH -nd <url>

to download the base page and the needed web resources. It would be neat if I could just give the URL to Calibre and have it pull them down.

You can make a simple script to do it using ebook-convert and calibredb
