(Archived) Any tips for clipping multi-page articles?

[tomscrace 0]

Hi all,

I often find myself wanting to clip web articles that span multiple pages. Sometimes there is a 'print' or 'view as single page' option on such articles, but often there is not. Does anybody have any tips for clipping muti-page articles into one note easily?

Thanks,

Tom

First, if something spans more than one screen, I normally use Readability (http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/) to get just the pertinent info. I can then copy/paste the text to a new note. You could do this for all the multiple pages.

OTOH, if you prefer to take the web clipping, you can merge them into a single note, afterwards.

I clip page 1 so that I have the URL. Then, I append the rest of the content via copy and paste.

I also tend to look very hard for alternatives to websites that use cheap tricks, popups, and otherwise inconvenience readers in order to squeeze in a few more ad views.
