Clipping Webpages

DotEpub, a tool you can use to convert webpages to Epub, has just gotten an update with several major improvements.

First, you now have the option of keeping images during the conversion. Images had been dropped before because of size concerns; they took too long to upload and download. The latest release does not work in IE and the Chrome Extension might not work in Chrome for Mac. But the developer behind DotEpub has worked out a way to use the tool from your iPad, iPhone, or iTouch.

I’ve tried it and it works. Now you’ll be able to start reading in Safari and continue reading in an app. I’ve wanted that for the longest time, myself.

For more details on DotEpub or to load it on your iGadget, visit the website.

This site has been around for about 6 months now, but it just crossed my desk last week.

Like Instapaper, ReadItlater, SendToReader, and several other apps, Kindlebility lets you clip web content and send it to your Kindle. It works a lot like the others, but it does have a point in its favor. It doesn’t require a log-in or any identifying info. But you will need to provide your Kindle’s email address and then use the bookmarklet to grab a webpage.

I know that I’ve probably found a half dozen apps with very similar features. This is good. One or more of the smaller apps might break or pull back on services (cost). It’s good to have backups.
