Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

I think it would be cool to have an integrated ebook-convert tool from Calibre (or something like it - this one is just the best one I know for that purpose) you can access from Archivebox web UI/command line. For a web UI I'm thinking something like: you tick the needed boxes, and where you now have "pull", "reset" and other options you would also have a "convert to e-book" option. Wanting to browse your articles comfortably on a dedicated e-ink/reader device seems like a common thing - would be neat to have an option to convert articles in bulk straight from your archive. And since Archivebox already archives pdf's, this option shouldn't seem out of place.

How badly do you want this new feature?

• It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
• It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
• It would be nice to have eventually

• I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
