NAME

getxbookgui - a graphical interface to download books

SYNOPSIS

getxbookgui

DESCRIPTION

getxbookgui is a frontend to a set of tools which download books from several websites.

Books will be downloaded to the directory that getxbookgui was run from, into a directory named as the book id or ISBN number. If not run from the command line, this will typically be in your home directory.

NOTES

The getxbook tools will not try to download pages that have already been downloaded, so closing it and then starting it again later will continue downloading from where it left off.

Book pages vary in availability depending on the book, the website, and potentially the location of your IP.

getxbookgui checks the clipboard, and if a recognised book URL is copied into it, it automatically recognises it and sets the book id and website ready to start downloading it. This behaviour is disabled if the options are manually changed, to ensure manually set options aren't accidentally overwritten.

Additional functionality is available by running the individual getxbook tools from the command line.
