This is a read me for the command line tool that will download book from
books.google.com in .jpg format.
How to use:
Download the jar from build directory.
To execute the jar directyly from the command-line type (first navigate to the location where the jar file resides)
java -jar GoogleBooksDownloader.jar "http://books.google.com/...id=sdf?asdfsdf..." "/location/where/you/want/to/save/your/file/"
the first parameter is the link to the book that you have copied from your browser and second command line parameter is the
location on your disc where you want to download the book as JPEG file.
Note:
this will download only the pages that you can see via browser.
Legal:
The books and preview pages are published on Google Books basing on agreements
with book authors and publishers. Nevertheless before making any specific use
of downloaded books, you need to confirm the legality of your own actions. The
rules regarding public domain materials differ from country to country, and
sometimes the specific use is not allowed. That is why a book's inclusion in
Google Books doesn’t mean it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world.
For example, Google recommends not to engage in large scale redistribution or
rehosting of the book files, sell digital or physical book copies, or help other
people buy and sell them.
For any problems please please post them as issues.
