I read a lot of books on my PC from a certain web site (rather not say which web site as some wouldn't approve) but need to be connected to the internet for this.
There could be up to 100 web pages per book.
How can I download 100 web pages to my PC and then send them to my Android tablet so that I can read them off-line without downloading them 1 page at a time to my PC, then combining them together, then converting them to readable format to read on my Android tablet when I have no internet connection?

Impossible to say without knowing the website I'm afraid. There are various ways of doing it but it depends on what format it's in.0

Download them on your device and not your PC?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0

The site in question is plain HTML with books split across multiple pages.
Adobe Acrobat can do this quite easily, it costs money but you can get a 30-day trial. There's a guide here:

Alternatively a browser extension may be easier, both Firefox and Chrome have web crawler extensions which will download all the pages for you. Once you have them you can copy/send them to your tablet and view them there.0
