Offline browser for Android

[akugami]

I have a website (HTML ebook) that I need to read. This is stuff I need to read up on for my work.

I would like to read it on my Nexus 7 but I don't always have WIFI handy. Easiest solution would be to download the website and read it offline. Searching the Google Play webstore turned up a few results. All of which blows and didn't download the complete web based ebook which is located on multiple web pages.

One solution to download the website was using HTTrack. I can copy it to the Nexus 7 and I can open it using something like ES File Explorer. The bad part is if I try to go to the next chapter, it tries to go to that link online and not the locally saved files.

The question then is, is there an app that does a good job of download a website for offline reading? If that is not possible, is there an app I can use to easily read the website I downloaded using HTTrack?

Pocket? iPhone doesn't have tethering app?

Too lazy to jailbreak iPhone. Cell phone plans are expensive enough that I am not paying for tethering.

if the website public? if so post it here

apps like pocket / other "read it later" type apps don't play nice with multiple page articles.

I thought the stock android browser had an option to save web pages

Sorry for responding so late. Hell week at work with a major deadline coming up. Been working 12 hours in the office, then coming home and putting in more hours.

Unfortunately the info is proprietary and I'm under NDA. It's in an online HTML book format so to speak where each chapter is a different web page.

did your company jump back into a time machine and go to 2001? Someone had a full document of that damn thing, surely, before it was put on the intranet or wherever. hunt them down.

otherwise....doesnt httrack clean the urls of pages it gets? you should be able to run it on a pc and save your site to a folder, then just copy that folder to a device (throw it in dropbox, id say) and browse away

Wouldn't firefox's ability to save a page offline and run it work in this scenario?

If you need to store a portion of a website and then browse it offline, try this free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.nikodroid.offline
it works very well.
