HACKER BOOKS - FIRST RELEASE 0.1 CODENAME LUPIN ! By Ekianjo, 2013.
LICENSE: GPLv3 / http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0
Target hardware: Open Pandora GNU/Linux mini-computer handheld.
However this application should work fine on all major GNU/Linux distros out there (Tested on OpenSuse 12.2)
What is HackerBooks ?
This is a Python application to download books related to Programming or Computer Sciences.
All the books proposed for download are freely available (either creative commons or permissive licenses).
Books are organized by title, category, authors.
Usage:
- Select a book in the list and click/Enter it
- You then see the description of the book in another window. You have the choice to close that window, or to download the book.
- If you choose to download the book, it will take a few moments depending on your connection until the book is received and copied.
- Once the book is available, you can click the "read" button to open it on your device for consultation.
- You can also choose to delete it from your device.
Opening a PDF uses evince, therefore you should have it installed on your system for it to work.
Needless to say, this is probably going to be working OK for GNU/Linux systems only.
If you'd like to see support for Windows/MAC please feel free to contribute to this project (or fork it).
