==========
FanFicFare makes reading stories from various websites much easier by helping
you download them to EBook files.
FanFicFare was previously known as FanFictionDownLoader (AKA
FFDL, AKA fanficdownloader).
Main features:
- Download FanFiction stories from over [100 different sites](https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/SupportedSites). into ebooks.
- Update previously downloaded EPUB format ebooks, downloading only new chapters.
- Get Story URLs from Web Pages.
- Support for downloading images in the story text. (EPUB and HTML
only -- download EPUB and convert to AZW3 for Kindle) More details on
configuring images in stories and cover images can be found in the
[FAQs] or [this post in the old FFDL thread].
- Support for cover image. (EPUB only)
- Optionally keep an Update Log of past updates (EPUB only).
There's additional info in the project [wiki] pages.
There's also a [FanFicFare maillist] for discussion and announcements and a [discussion thread] for the Calibre plugin.
