Mike, I'm unfamiliar with how to create plugins. Do you know anyone who I might encourage/ask about creating one?
Many Thanks
Richard

Thanks Mike. Useful information as always. "to save more would require some management of those .fha files, by manually renaming/moving them" Do you know if there is any fundamantal reason why the option to save different Report formats, could not be equally applied to the web publish formats (in th...

Thanks Valkrider/Mike/Colin eBooks are read on most devices nowadays, not just on electronic-ink devices like the basic Kindles. I read ebooks on my Desktop, Kindle, phone and tablet, most of which are as equally fast at refreshing pages as a browser. eBooks bought from Amazon are automatically sync...

"why not just give them your website online address?" Mike, my idea is to give people an eBook. This would provide the value of full web access without needing an internet connection, and be easy to read/study on any eBook reader. I already have my website on my Kindle but navigation is cumbersome. ...

Thanks Mike & Colin I have already done what you suggest Mike. However: Websites The website creation facility is very useful as it allows me to update the site frequently from within FH with just a few clicks. The Websites are quickly searchable and provide useful internal hotlinks. Simply giving p...

Whoops! Just discovered that I sort of asked this same question 4 years ago, 9452|FH output viewed on a Kindle getting forgetful! Apologies. But at that time I was only interested in doing it for myself. I now see it as a route to self-publishing our Family History for the wider world for Kindles Ko...

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I am trying to create an ebook using the Report generating feature (in .epub format or .mobi for Kindle). I want all the hyperlinks to work. This would be a very convenient output format for distributing Family History in the future (and would be a nice f...

Sorted! Calibre just refused to respond to button presses on my Intuos3 mouse! (it was not 'hanging' after all, just ignoring me, it happened once before on one other program I had). So yes after switching to another mouse, I have no uploaded my tree to Kindle as hyperlinked pages and it works OK, (...

Sadly Calibre doesnt like my PC (despite being fast, Windows7 4G, SSD etc), and I do not seem to be the only one. I have just spent 3 hours reinstalling and trying everything (no AV etc.) to no avail. It hangs at every step, while tantalising me with glimpses of what funtions it has to offer! Shame ...

Thanks Jane. I will try Calibre as soon as i can get it to run. About to try a reinstall. Any hints on settings or process?
Did you include images? or was it slow even with text only?

Cheers

I tried file:///mnt/uk/html/test.html, and got 'Web Browser cannot download files using this protocol. Only HTTP: and HTTPS: protocols are supported.'

So still looking for a solution

Has anyone any experience of exporting material from Family Historian onto a Kindle? (Why? It is a neat electronic book with long battry life and good readability in all light conditions, and will probably become a popular way of sharing genealogy results with relatives.) (Files can be downloaded fr...

Got Version 3 running within minutes of its arrival this morning (I am still in my dressing gown and it is afternoon!), I am now trying to create web pages without Living and Private individuals. I have set the flags via Edit and Record Flags, ticked both boxes in Privacy Options, but the individual...

Yup, arrived this morning.  Up and running, now getting to grips with the web publishing. Looks nice.
So much to learn and do, so little time!
