Überblick
Tools to download ebooks from various sources
Verlauf
getxbook is a small C toolkit for downloading page images from Google Books previews, Amazon Look Inside, and Barnes & Noble Book Viewer. Its place in package history is tied to offline reading, book privacy, and scriptable capture of preview-page services rather than to a large application ecosystem.
Nick White published getxbook as a collection of one-purpose tools: getgbook for Google Books, getabook for Amazon, getbnbook for Barnes & Noble, and an optional Tcl/Tk graphical frontend. The official page frames the project around reading privacy and offline control of page scans, while the download list records public source and binary releases in 2013 and 2015.
Adoption remained niche but visible in Unix package-manager culture. Homebrew carried the macOS formula, and the input package facts also list Nix packaging, which fits the tool's small, source-buildable shape.
Practitioners use getxbook by choosing the site-specific command for a book source, letting the tool save page images into a local directory, and resuming partial downloads when a run is stopped. The surrounding scripts support conversion workflows such as searchable PDF, DjVu, and OCR-derived text.
getxbook is notable as a compact, portable C package with few dependencies beyond libc, sockets, and OpenSSL. For package maintainers, that makes it a classic small utility: easy to build, easy to audit, and heavily shaped by the fragility of the remote services it automates.
