If anyone is interested, I've created a Plug-in extension for the Chrome web browser that converts a Baka-Tsuki web page into an EPUB.
To install the plug-in on Chrome:
- Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... cnibaigelm.
- Click "Add to Chrome" button.
- Warning: The Firefox build has a couple of limitations
- It's using the Firefox WebExtensions to allow Firefox to run a Chrome extension. (i.e. The Firefox extension is the same as the Chrome extension.)
- WebExtensions are still under development in Firefox, so you'll need to run either the Developer or Nightly builds of Firefox. And there may be bugs.
- The Firefox builds need to be manually reviewed by Mozilla, so, so the official Firefox build is going to lag the Chrome build.
- Got to https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/webtoe ... aka-tsuki/
- Click "Add to Firefox" button.
- Go to web page you want to convert. (Go to a "Full Text" page, e.g. http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index ... us:Volume2)
- Check that the story details on the popup are correct.
- Press "Fetch Images" button and wait for them to load. The Pack EPUB button should now enable.
- Click on the "Set cover" button for the image you want to use as the cover page.
- Click on the "Pack EPUB" button.

Notes:
- The extension is written in javascript, so should be possible for others to fix/adapt/improve.
- I haven't tested it with all pages on Baka-Tsuki, so it may break for some.
- I'm new to JavaScript, so my code may be somewhat clumsy.
- Plug-in runs on Windows version of Chrome and an earlier version of it ran on Chrome on a MacBook.
- I haven't confirmed the EPUB will run on all EPUB readers. It works fine with the Firefox EPUBReader addon. (http://www.epubread.com) and I'm told it works with iBooks.
- Reader also works for FanFiction.net and ArchiveOfOurOwn.
