How to convert a single web page without a Toc block?
Following the wizard, after chrome opened, navigate to the page, click any text without a link.
Why "Error 1010 Access denied" appear in my generated book? And how can I get around this?
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 itwon't deny the access.
Why "the web site is too slow to respond"?
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.
Why the ToCs displayed in the wizard is not the same as the ToCs in the generated book?
The ToCs displayed in the wizard is directly recognized and converted from the web page, and some items are just text items without a link attached, but this is not the case for an ebook. The empty ToC items are discarded when generating the book, so there may be differences.
Why 3 different fetch methods?
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, login and keep the browser open to fetch contents.
I cannot generate books for some sites?
It's a complicated problem involving your network condition when you are accessing those sites.
You can adjust the settings, e.g use another fetch method, increase the timeout, etc.
Many sites are not designed to make it easy to scratch. We make no promise it works for any web site or any web page. If it does not work for some web pages, please tell us. We will try our best to improve.

If the ebook is a pdf, just sideload it to your Kindle when connected by USB.
