FAQs #

Q: What's the difference of the two buttons in the picker toolbar? ...

A: The first is a switcher that toggle the picker on or off. When picker is on, you can click to select block of links or a single link that you wish to add. You can not pick links when it is off. The second button is used to add the current web page content into the Table of Contents.

Q: Why I may need to rebuild the book? ...

A: Suppose you are tracking some topics and you have collected several articles related and have the book built. Now you find a new article that you definately want it inside the book, this is when you can relaunch the build process , add the new link and rebuild the book.

Q: Can I grab web contents from iframe ? ...

A: Yes, you can. Use the picker to select the iframe.

Q: Why 'Error 1010 Access denied' appear in my generated book? And how can I get around this? ...

A: This error is due to the site you are accessing using some anti-scaping machanism to prevent scraping, the effort BookIt Desktop makes while trying to fetch web contents triggered this machanism and thus the request are refused .

The best thing you can do to get around this problem is to adjust the fetch methods to use “chrome invisible” or “chrome visible” to fetch web contents, in this way, the site is not likely to tell apart the fetch request from a normal browser request, thus it won’t deny the access.

Q: What do 'the web site is too slow to respond' mean? ...

A: We try our best to fetch all the web contents in the ToC list, the ToCs may contain many links or pages. If the number of failed pages exceed the limit, the generated book may be incomplete and unacceptable. This is the what this error means.

You can adjust the fetch methods, increase the timeout etc. to make another try, or try again sometime later.

Q: How can I put the ebook generated into my Kindle for reading? ...

A: If the ebook is a pdf, just sideload it to your Kindle when connected by USB. If the book is a EPUB, you need to convert it into a MOBI or a AZW format , you can use [EbooXform]{https://book.net/products/eboox} to do conversion.

Q: Why 3 different fetch methods? And which one should I use? ...

A: There’s 3 different fetch methods : http get, invisible chrome and visible chrome. They are used for different contexts.

You can use “http get” to fetch web contents that are static, it is fast.

But for some dynamic pages, web page contents are fetched by Javascript after the html is loaded, you can not get the full web contents with simple http get. Thanks to headless browser, we can run chrome in the background, which will fetch the html, run the Javascript and fetch the dynmaic contents.

Further more, there are some web pages only accessible to members, i.e you must login to access the web page. In this special case, we use “visible chrome” to open the web site, you can login and keep the browser open to fetch contents.
