In plain words

Epublifier is a tool that extracts pages from books and manuals and converts them into offline-readable formats.

From the sources

A tool that allows you to extract a list of html pages from a website and compile them into an ePub book to be imported into your eReader of choice. For advanced users who can write javascript, you can add additional parser definition to customize parsing of any site. Some sites use javascript to dynamically generates/retrieve the text, in which case you need the browser to run the JS - This was the biggest gap for me.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
