ePub Creator is a powerful Chrome extension that enables users to convert web pages and library e-books from OverDrive's online reader into offline ePub e-books. It supports any webpage accessible in Firefox's Reader Mode, ensuring most text-based sites can be saved for offline reading. For OverDrive books, it parses the content directly from the online reader, repackaging and optimizing it into an ePub format, although image sizing might vary for some content types like comics.

To use, simply open the desired webpage or OverDrive book, click the extension icon, and wait as the content is processed. The extension uses Mozilla's Readability.js for content extraction, ensuring clean and reader-friendly output. Users should ensure that saving the content complies with local copyright laws. The extension requires permissions for displaying notifications, accessing site data upon user action, and managing its own popups.

Simple and works. Drawback: no style options, and cannot select mutiple websites to put in one epub file

It converts browser's read-mode to epub. So, if read-mode is bad on some webpage, it naturally gets bad too.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ePub Creator requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
