LJ multichapter fanfic onto your ereader easily?

[photoash]

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

Squeebook probably works well for everyone, but another option is Calibre. It's a program that you can use to read ebooks on your actual computer which is pretty handy. You can also install the plug-in EpubMerge.

IF you already have a one-click webpage/ebook converter, it can be a bit easier than Squeebooks because you can just highlight the already downloaded chapters and it'll merge for you. Just another option!

Have you figured out a way to get fics from LJ into it easily? The Fanfic Downloader plugin can't handle LJ, so right now I'm stuck copy/pasting the fic into a Word doc, saving as RTF, and then having Calibre convert it (to MOBI format).

Unfortunately, nothing easier than this. But I found using squee books to be a bit time-consuming and, on top of that, I had some bizarre margin erase things happening on a few fics.

I've found I prefer using the Chrome plug-in dotEpub . It saves you from having to copy/paste all the links into Squee. Then when I have those converted and in Calibre, I just highlight and use ePubMerge.

It's not a perfect solution, but I've found it simpler in some ways than Squeebook. SORRY!

Hey, ANY info is great. I really wish I had done more research before buying the Kindle Fire -- it's SHIT for downloading fic -- but now I'll try anything to make it a little easier. Thanks!
