Turn a story on certain websites into an ebook for convenient reading

Leech

Let's say you want to read some sort of fiction. You're a fan of it, perhaps. But mobile websites are kind of non-ideal, so you'd like a proper ebook made from whatever you're reading.

Setup

You'll need python3, BeautifulSoup, and html5lib. If you don't have them, this will make them show up:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

$ python3 leech.py [[URL]]

A new file will appear named Title of the Story.epub.

If you want to put it on a Kindle you'll have to convert it. I'd recommend Calibre, though you could also try using kindlegen directly.

If you submit a pull request to add support for another site, I will nigh-certainly accept it.

Run EpubCheck on epubs you generate to make sure they're not breaking.
