I haven’t done any work on this in quite a while. But I do have some time off next week. If I can, in a few hours, make it FF 4.x and 5.x compatible I will, but no promises. Sorry.

I’ll see if I can find time to test it out, I don’t have ready access to a windows 7 box right now.

I’ve not had any time to work on it for quite a while, personally I’ve found that http://www.instapaper.com/ works very well and will generate an ePub file.

Sorry, other things have taken over my free time and haven’t had any time to play around with this. The source is up on git hub (see link above) if anyone else wants to run with it.

I’ve found that using Instapaper to create ePub files satisfies most of my needs. It’s not perfect, but it works well enough.

What bookmarklet are you using that saves to pdf?

I almost think the cool route would be to write a printer driver that prints to ePub, but that’s definitely more work that my spare time allows.

Any news on an update? it was working so well, also theres a bookmarklet tat works pretty well in the format of the webpages and also you can save that to pdf, (like instapaper, but with images and better format) is there a way to use that bookmarklet and save automaticly this in and extension form? to save clicks and save articles easyly, i wondering because i dont have a clue on programming…. please?

Sorry the lack of response, the new year finds me working a crazy number of hours. I will try to find some hours next week to look into the outstanding issues.

Page with russian characters in URL cannot be converted.
Tried directly via web2disk – FF provides URL in next format:
http://bishop-it.ru/2009/02/%D1%8E%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82-%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8B-%D0%B8-tdd/

While in Bookit log i see another:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox>”D:\Program Files\Calibre2\web2disk.exe” -r 0 –delay=0 -d “D:\Temp\bookit-work-7″ “http://bishop-it.ru/2009/02/8ebdb882-82b581828b-b8-tdd/”

can you fix this?
