Here is a proof of concept I was trying out this morning.
I wanted to read the SimpleTest documentation on my (non-internet connected) ereader so I made an ePub document out of the all the web pages. This centralizes the content into an (almost real) book that can be read on most electronic readers (with working Table Of Contents, embedded images, etc).
Due to the file upload restrictions (it doesn't recognize the '.epub' extension), you must change the '.html' to '.epub' after you download it, in order to read it.
Please let me know if this was useful to anyone else. As I'm interested in doing the same for the Drupal 7 documentation. I just need a more sophisticated method of doing it if I intent to do this on such a large scale.
Copy and paste would take forever on that level. Perhaps some kind of web scraper with regular expression magic? Any ideas appreciated.Sorry. I forgot to click 'attach'.
Here's the epub file. (listed as HTML).

I like the idea
I like the concept, even if I couldn't find the proof of concept file.
With more and more eBook readers, ePub and Kindle, being sold, having the manual sections, or a whole documentation section available off line is really handy.
Epub uploaded now.
Good spotting Gregg.
It's uploaded now.
I love this
shrimphead,
I've been looking at doing this very same thing. I will use this epub and am looking at some of the other chapters in the drupal docs.
Thanks.
