Ah!  Don't try to spider your site.  Just point it at a single HTML
page that's the content of the book you want to create.  It will then
create a "downloadable, preformatted pda type doc" for you to put on
your site for others to download and read.

In particular, look at http://code.plkr.org/docs/eb.html.  You can
always specify --maxdepth=0 to keep it from following links to other
pages.  What are you using as a viewer?
