Download web page and turn it into EPUB?

Shohreh · Today, 02:10 AM

Hello,

I'd like to download a web page that's too long to read on a computer, and have it turned into an EPUB file.

Neither Pandoc, Calibre, nor mutool work, either because of wrong layout, wrong characters (ligatures at least), or even "Couldn't render this page".

I assumed turning HTML into EPUB (where pages are actually HTML) would be a breeze… but it looks more involved than expected.

Does someone know of a reliable, no-brainer solution (for Windows, CLI and/or GUI)?

Thank you.

You should be able to right click on the start of the text and select Inspect.
Then, scroll down the <div> until you hit the one that causes all the text to turn blue
Then context menu > Copy > Inner HTML.

Thanks. Is there no easier solution?

Google didn't help finding the right options to tell wget to download a web page with what's required to then turn it into a readable EPUB file, even with a no-thrill, single-column web page.

There probably is, but I am not aware of them.
