💖 getxbook(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for getxbook(1). it’s giving “download books from websites,” and honestly? iconic. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

getxbook — a collection of tools to download books. periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so getxbook is a collection of tools to download books from websites. literally what it says on the tin, no cap.

it contains one tool per website, plus an optional graphical frontend:

  • getgbook(1) — downloads books from Google Books’ "Book Preview" service. 🦋
  • getabook(1) — downloads books from Amazon’s "Look Inside The Book" service. 💅
  • getbnbook(1) — downloads books from Barnes and Noble’s "Book Viewer" service. 🎀
  • getxbookgui(1) — a graphical frontend to the getxbook tools. ✨

🧚 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. no cap, it picks up right where you left it. 💖

book pages vary in availability depending on the book, the website, and potentially the location of your IP. so yeah, availability is a whole vibe check, not a guarantee. 🙈 see the specific tool man pages for details.
