User reviews
Users appreciate Save As eBook for its unique ability to compile multiple pages into an organized eBook with chapters, ease of use, and effective preservation of page content. Multiple reviews note bugs and reliability issues, such as loading problems in the table of contents and difficulty handling large pages. The add-on does not support saving in Firefox's Reader View, which limits clutter-free captures. Users also desire more control over captured content and additional features like default styling and export options to external devices or services.
Pros
- Allows saving multiple web pages as chapters to create a single eBook, a feature not common in similar add-ons.
- Easy to use with a generally good interface for chapter creation and eBook generation.
- Effectively preserves the structure and content of pages including links and images.
- Provides a valuable alternative to other add-ons that no longer work in current Firefox versions.
- Converts online books and articles to EPUB format efficiently.
Cons
- Sometimes buggy and unreliable, with occasional issues like the table of contents showing 'loading...' and improper anchor links.
- Cannot save pages as they appear in Firefox Reader View, limiting clutter-free saving.
- Performance issues such as hanging on large pages without giving errors.
- Lacks advanced user controls for selecting specific content to include, occasionally adding unwanted elements.
- Missing features like the ability to save with default style options or integration with external services (e.g., PocketBook, Kindle).

Firefox offers "save as webpage", and it works perfectly...
It has the anchor links... (to chapters, within the page), and the images...
-----------
What this plugin offers is great: save a page, and save other pages as chapters to it....
However, table of content contains "loading.." as the second menu item...
Internal ("#" anchor links) point at web address...
Using Firefox in save as webpage mode is perfect, whereas this plugin is buggy and, as such, unreliable...
