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[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 am so happy you have no idea!!! :D I can't wait to get home from work and put this bad boy to work!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

As long as you put in your username and password, it works fine on locked posts. (It doesn't store your password anywhere, so you don't need to worry about that.)

Wow awesome!!

Any tips on using it? (For multichapter is it if you just go in order when you c&p addresses going from 1st to last that it takes care of things? :) )

Yep, that's right. And it shows each URL as it loads it, so you can check it hasn't missed anything.

there is a firefox plugin that will allow you to copy multiple links at once. I think it's called "copy links." I use that when I use squee book. :)

Exactly how does it work?

On the first page you add the story title and authors name.

Then navigate to the second page by clicking on Add Story Chapter(s) the text is in blue near the top of the screen.

Once you're on the second screen you need to click on the Copy Story from URL(s) text. Also in blue, but a little further down the screen. This will bring up a text box and instructions for how to input the URL for each chapter in the story you want to capture.
Once you've input all of the links, hit the load button. This will pull the text into the text box at the bottom of the screen.

Once everything is loaded properly go to the Build eBook and just pick whatever file type you want your book to be in. Then click the *Grabby Hands* button. You're ebook should download within a minute or two. (The limits on length seem to be around 100,000 words. So if the story your downloading is bigger than that you might want to use a different program.
