GrabMyBooks

GrabMyBooks

GrabMyBooks

It can detect content automatically or manually and then grabs it from web sites and feeds into an ePub file for your eBook reader. This addon also comes with an editor which allows you to edit the ebook before finalizing it and transferring it into your ebook reader. Great tool to compile information which can later be read on any of your eReaders. Looks extremely promising if you encounter ebooks that come in HTML format. If you’re determined enough, perhaps anyone of us can help translate HTML ebooks into EPUB formats. The only drawback reported is that extracting content with tables would mess up with the formatting.
