# About
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.
Code is from this gists:
* 1: https://gist.github.com/yangchenyun/a1c123935d82f5e25d57
* 2: https://gist.github.com/EelMood/84140e557065ac3d73f669f120429ae1
I have just added minor usability improvements (e.g. cmdline switch for input file selection) and a package.json file.
**TODO**
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.
