Compile Web Articles and Create a Niche Ebook with Readlists
Ebooks allow us to organize our collections of reading materials, and making it easier than ever to distribute to friends and readers with similar interests. There are some of us who like to curate contents from several sites down to one source that we can access even without an Internet connection. However, there are limited options for converting reading materials to an ebook format, especially from websites and blogs.
The standard way is by spending time to copy and paste content to MS Word, or Pages on Mac, where you can save the file as PDF, or in the standard ePub format. This is quite a hassle considering the time needed to complete the process, and that is why we’d suggest you try the alternative: a web application called Readlist.
