I would love to make an Android App, but the course administration said no, because we have a fixed set of technologies we have to use.
And regarding the legal stuff, our application will only allow to search for books in the public domain.
The project got already accepted, but thanks you for your suggestions Froide.

This is the first you have said of searching.
Might I add that calibre searches many sources and nobody has suggested it is illegal. In fact, some small bookstores (outside the US, where non-DRMed books are more popuar and this has relevance) link to calibre as a way to "read your purchase on a kindle".
There is no legal issue with searching Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Books, Goodreads, etc. -- so long as your app doesn't hack their servers
to download the books themselves.
