[Web4lib] Download text from Google books

[Kevil, L H.]

We've got a new problem: how to download text from Google books. We're
talking about small amounts of text, which would be  covered by academic
fair use. 

 

All the suggestions we have retrieved  - by googling, of course - have
not panned out, including Google book downloader. Saving pages as
graphics and then OCRing them hasn't worked either. Our OCR software is
not very functional.

 

Any suggestions would be most welcome. TIA,

 

Hunter
