LJ multichapter fanfic onto your ereader easily?

Jan 27, 2012 14:12

I have a kindle touch and I am trying to figure out an easy way to get LJ Multichapter fics into one epub/mobi file. I already use the epub conversion website so that I can easily get all the chapters into epub - but I can't find a way to actually combine them into one epub file ( Read more... )

squeebook[dot]net is a good way to get multi-part LJ stories into a single into a single ebook.

OMG that looks amazing!! Does it work like instapaper so it's only on non-age restricted and non-locked posts?? :D

As far as I know it only works on un-locked posts. But I've never had a problem with age restrictions and as you log in with your livejournal ID you should be able to have it make an ebook from any locked posts you have access to with your account.

I usually copy/paste each page into a word document and save it as a PDF. Then I use calibre to convert it to a mobi a file. It's taking the long way around but I really like how it turns out :D

This is how I work, too, only I'm converting to epub for my Nook ( I like to try to keep the art and dividers within the fic, if it's at all feasible).

I don't know if anyone else does this, but for single file fics I like the Safari Reader, which gives you just the text, cuts off comments, etc. and lets you save fic as a pdf directly to the desktop (or wherever) - convert in calibre and voila. It's especially nice for Dreamwidth, since it eliminates the LJ character limit problem. : )

I also most of the time merge the stories by copying and pasting one chapter at a time into a new Word document. The results are generally more consistent in my experience.

I cobbled my own system together from separate components found online and code I wrote. I've been meaning to make it presentable and post it somewhere but it hasn't happened yet (and I wouldn't hold my breath ( ... )
