Fanfic Downloads

snugglemintI dreamt about zombies last night. (Random, but I just wanted to throw that out there.)
:D Anyway...
This is the day for questions, it seems.
Mmkay, so I was asking about an e-reader earlier, but it brought up this question because I'd be using said reader for fanfics.
Soooo, do you use a program to download your fics or do you do it tediously by hand? (I think I would rather .pdf format since I know for certain that's an available format for one of the e-readers. Not sure if it's for all of them.)
If so, what do you use and is it any good, or do you use it because it's the only thing you could find?
If not, what do you do? I'm not keen on the idea of going chapter by chapter and copying and pasting a fic into a word document. @-@ I am the lazy sort.
Now the really unsavory question that's practically taboo.
Does anyone have any Drarry pdfs that they are willing to share? Any and all. A collection is a collection is a collection. Summaries would be nice if they're not attached to the story.
Here are the ones I have at the moment:
-The Copper Cauldron by Newshound (Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reikokatsura )
-The Complete Works of Maya
-Phoenix Song by Xylodemon
-The Black Veela by Aandune (Thanks tohidders )

Date: 2010-12-15 11:10 am (UTC)Have you tried the new version of Fanfiction Downloader? If you have already have Calibre it takes out the step of manual converting. It only works for 3 archives right now but Raimond says he's going to try to get his site listing back. When he does it'll be a pretty solid program. He seems pretty eager to create a better product with the help of users via his forum.
But I must admit, I don't think I'll EVER go back from the program I'm using now. CarlT has converted me throughly. Him adding TheHexFiles to his site listings was the wax that pretty much sealed the deal. But it's only for HTML, so you might not like it. And he's very quick to add/fix features, I love that. I currently have it babysitting over 200 WIPs while I download dozens of fics at a time when I feel like it. The time I send downloading/saving fics has been cut down so drastically.
