Ciao Steve I have used Scrapbook for years. Its excellent. VERY reliable. Though it is not always able to save JavaScript rich sites properly. (That's one of the reasons why one can't use Scrapbook to reliably backup TiddlyWikis.)
I had a look at the RDF file and it looks to me that for single pages it saves it would be fairly easy to convert its RDF file into a JSON file that TW could import. The complications might come where entire sites have been downloaded as the RDF entries for these look like nested cross references to other entries. That would make for a lot of redundancy if one had masses of whole sites downloaded into Scrapbook, I think. The other aspect, though less of an issue, is the THREE types of "scrap data" it saves: (1) Web Pages (2) Bookmarks to websites (3) Notes. I'm a dabbler, not a techie, so may well be wrong. But that's my 2 cents.
