This is a node script extracting E-Books from Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader.
|
||
|
|
Useful e.g. for being able to read on devices where the Clour Reader doesn't work and for having a copy in an open format.
|
||
|
|
Works with Chrome/Chromium. Other browsers use different formats for the WebSQL file where the E-Books are stored for offline use.

I have just added minor usability improvements (e.g. cmdline switch for input file selection) and a package.json file.

This is much better then nothing, but far from perfect.

|
* Generated files may become huge and cause troubles to some browsers. Storing images as standalone files may improve that.
|
||
|
|
* Page numbers should probably be included (optionally?).
|
||
|
|
* An option to extract only specific books would be useful for large libraries. Currently, it will extract all e-books found in the given file.
|
||
|
|
* The script could support the user in finding the right sqlite file.
