## What it is
A Chrome/Firefox/Opera Web Extension that saves a web page or a text selection as an eBook in .epub format. It supports collecting multiple pages as chapters, editing and reordering them, and applying Readability.js or custom CSS before generating the book.

## Use cases
- save a web page as an epub ebook
- convert an online article to epub for offline reading
- collect multiple pages into one ebook with chapters
- save only a text selection as an ebook
- strip ads and navigation from a page before saving it as a book
- edit and reorder chapters before generating an epub

## When to choose
- you want to archive web articles as epubs for an e-reader
- you need to bundle several web pages into a single ebook
- you want a browser-integrated one-click page-to-epub converter

## When to avoid
- you need PDF or other output formats instead of epub
- you want to convert local documents rather than web pages
- you need server-side or bulk batch conversion

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: browser-extension, pdf, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, browser-extensions, files
- platform: browser-extension, browser, cross-platform
