Web2Book - Pack Web Pages to iBooks epub Book app for iPhone and iPad
Enjoy reading book in iBooks, Stanza or GoodReader? Get frustrated in viewing complex web pages? Web2Book help you pack web pages into a much more readable book!
Why to do this? Because in most cases what you need are content of these web pages, not their beautiful but complex format, which undermines user experience dramatically on ipod/iphone/iphone4/ipad/ipad.
One of other advantages of packing web pages into a book is related to network. Network is not always available, once you pack the interesting web pages into a book, youll never care about network availability.
Another advantage is you neednt care about book source. If youre Stanza user, for instance, you know this is a big matter. But if you can create a book by yourself easily, the matter will not be a matter.

Latest reviews of Web2Book - Pack Web Pages to iBooks epub Book app for iPhone and iPad
Worst app
One of the recent versions had a bug related to text encoding. I notified the developer and he responded the same day uploading the fixed version to Apple. Very impressive support!
No instructions, no help, not user friendly, could not get it to work. I suggest you move on.
Imagine clicking one button and a set of linked html pages is converted into an ebook! Great job on this gem of an app! Documentation could be improved but I was able to answer any questions I had just by trying it on some sample html pages.
Does exactly what it promisses. After reading the help file, and using the inline help a cpl of times I got the results I was looking for. This App is awesome and the price right.
