Google Book Downloader – Download Books From Google Books
Stumbled upon this web application, it amazed me with its ability to extract and list down every single page from Google Books. I can’t be certain if this is considered illegal, but I don’t see any difference between viewing it from my browser and viewing it from an image manager.
As the name implies, Google Book Downloader does exactly what it says, it will give you a list of url of the images, what you need next is a download manager such as Download Accelerator Plus or Flashget.
Downloading the images appears to be breeze free, it was not until half way through the process Google Books decided to cut me off, possibility they system detects an ongoing unusual activity or mass bandwidth consumption that does not justify a normal reading behavior. Superman?
Is it illegal? Well, I’m won’t be too concern about that, the million dollar question is, is it worth the trouble? Just have a look at the screen shot below.
It’s like downloading a broken mp3 where it skips a beat or two every 20 seconds. Nothing is more annoying that missing pages in a book, but then again, these missing pages does not apply across the board. Having said that, do you happen to know that copyright laws are meant to last for 50 years only? This means a huge number of books that falls within this copyright free category are copyright free, good old books such as Oliver Twist and many more.
While you’re busy exploring Google Books, why not treat yourself to some free magazines?
