EpubPress - Read the web offline by Harold Treen

Rated 2 out of 5
by Mues, 2 years agoWhy do I have to receive the compiled epub via email? I downloaded the extension, so there's no reason to send everything to an external server, compile, and send it back to my email.
I assume that the lack of image support and limit on number of tabs is a side effect of this.
It works great if you're just converting some text over. It truly does a great job of cleaning up messy websites for an ereader. I just wish it did the conversion on the client side.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Fredrik, 5 months agoYou can select multiple pages to one epub file
Drawback: no style options: for example, you can't change the font - Rated 4 out of 5by Vladislav, a year ago

Some reviews wonder why it is needed to convert the page server-side, I can think some reasons off the top of my head, e.g.: you need a server to send emails to your kindle account, using the server processing as single source of truth is also way easier when it comes to multi platform and scalability, and the server is open source: https://github.com/haroldtreen/epub-press while there is no guarantee that this code is what's running on production it definitely adds up, also they're just articles idk.. it works for me - Rated 5 out of 5by emilrudolf, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17875015, 2 years agoI tried it out on a ten chapter story and the first few chapters came out empty except for the title and the word "settings". I agree with another reviewer that the pages really aught to be downloaded and converted locally, there's no good reason for it to send them out to a cloud server, and I suspect that's how I got broken chapters because they just didn't load properly on the cloud server (the broken pages were from the same site with the exact same formatting as the ones that worked). I tried again and the download button just won't even work now. Great idea in theory, I just wish it worked.

- Rated 4 out of 5by yaofan, 2 years agoWorks great in most webpages. For some reason it doesn't detect the index links in plato.stanford.edu entries. Overall works great.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dr Nut, 4 years agoBrilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! I've been scratching my head for months on how to download multiple articles from a particular site for Epub reading on my Kobo. This was literally the only solution I found for what I needed and it worked FLAWLESSLY first time out of the box. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS :>)
- Rated 4 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 4 years agoBest epub creator I've tested so far. A pity that it doesn't let you edit any epub file.
