The Archive of Our Own has released new code for the archive that'll allow users to export stories into epub, mobipocket, html, and pdf.

I've done some testing and I love what they've accomplished. The stories retain the correct metadata, such as author and title, there is a working Table of Contents, and based on your user preferences, the user can select how the file is named when it downloads. (which I thought was awesome.) :)

The only downside at the moment is that I don't think there is any way to customize how the epub will look before the story is exported onto your computer. Though I'm confident in time there may be options to pick your preferred font, font-size, and whether or not you want spaces between your paragraphs or indents. Based on how responsive the coders and the A03 team have been before I think it's possible customization features may already be in the works.

I'm very excited about this new feature because it opens the door to reading a lot more fan fiction without having to go through a lot of effort.
