Any good suggestions for a way to view content offline? I need to get descriptions/listings of movies from a site and be able to view them offline on my Nokia n800. Any ideas of a way to rip a site to be able to view it without a wifi connection around?

Try the search feature of the forum. You could then try browsing through posts like this. I'm currently playing around with Plucker.

It is actually for a film festival. They have all of the listings up at http://tiff08.ca/filmsandschedules/f...h/default.aspx
I want to have access to all of the film descriptions even when I am offline.
I remember trying this a few years ago with Plucker and I decided to try it again with Plucker. I just used a desktop version of FBreader to test it and it seems to be "okay" but would like a bit of a cleaner version.
If anyone has any suggestions please post otherwise I guess I will just use the plucker version with FBreader on my n800.

Isn't there a version of httrack for the tablets? I'm pretty sure I had it running on my N800. If memory serves, you just point it to a web address and it does exactly what you describe, spiders the site and makes a local copy with all the links correct for local access.

I tried that httrack program on my PC. It looks like it could work well but I can't get the links to d/l just the main site page. I am using plucker now and I just tested it on my N800 with FBreader and it seems to be decent. There is some text I want to remove from the site though. I need to look into how to remove those parts.
