Plugin Request: Project Gutenberg

Leo_Pacificus · 11-01-2012, 10:32 AM

Props to Krittika Goyal for developing the WikiReader plugin. A plugin that can download books from Project Gutenberg website (mainstream and .au) might be a good idea. Ability to select a specific format will be great, too.
I understand that coding a plugin is not a breeze, but I'll be greatly obliged to the person who would be kind enough to consider my request.

I am sorry if any such plugin is already present.

Thanks. Does Get Books in calibre, if you select only project Gutenberg, not do this? Check if what it does is good enough for you. It should do what you need at least for the mainstream PG. You could ask John to add the .au site as well.

Thanks, K. I'm unable to use the Get Books plugin. The window that pops up in Calibre is unable to load any side.
