BookBrowser - A tool to create a web interface for reading your ePub library
I have been wanting a web interface for my ePub collection for a while. I wanted it to be simple, but also have a web based viewer. I wanted it to be able to work on all platforms, and I wanted the generated html to be usable standalone. I could not find anything which fitted my needs, so I created one.
You can see more info here: http://geek1011.github.io/BookBrowser Live Demo The readme is below: BookBrowser A tool to generate a web-based epub book browser. This works on Linux and Windows with Python 2.7. The web interface works with basic book browsing support on IE 9+, Edge, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Android Browser, and other browsers with es5 support. The web interface works with full search, filters, online reader, state storing in url, and animations on IE 10+, Edge, Firefox 28+, Chrome 21+, Safari 9+, Opera 17+, and Android browser 4.4+. Features
Usage First, download and extract or clone this repository. Then install python 2.7 if you haven’t already. Then:
To clear the metadata and cover cache, either run resetindex.sh on Linux, or delete the txt, jpg, jpeg, and png files from the Content/Books folder. Demo Screenshots Update 02-22-2017: New version, resesign, rewrite, deep linking support, sort by series, responsive ui, random book, series info, and more. Update 11-26-2016: New version, redesign, and IE9 compatibility. Update 01-26-2017: New version, redesign. Last edited by geek1011; 02-22-2017 at 04:49 PM. Reason: New design |

This is pretty awesome, what got me here is thinking about an idea to download my digital e-books - from my (original) Kindle, or my iPad (via the Kindle App) - to an external drive of some sort.
I have discovered that if I let either my kindle or iPad power down, or don't connect to the internet for a period of time, I am unable to read any of my eBooks? My theory is that the "Mothership" must tell the e-reader to hold my data hostage until the e-reader logs into Matrix er..SkyNet...I'd like to do an unobtrusive hack to set my data free. I don't want anything that isn't mine, I paid for my content, I should be allowed to read it without going through a gatekeeper. I was exploring using an rPi computer - but when I saw the link to this forum in an article by Nick Hoffelder over at The Digital Read, I thought I'd see if the much smarter folks around here could point me in the right direction...maybe save a little elbow grease?
