What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI live in a very rural town with poor internet and kept wanting a good way to make an offline ebook from these mdbook sites (to them turn to mobi with calibre for my kindle).
For a while I struggled using a recursive wget on the `print` page and using calibre's `ebook-convert`.
Last week I finally found [mdbook-epub][0] which seems to do a fine job! The standalone binary choked on some codeblocks, but using it as a plugin worked great.
