Ebook scraper
I love using a Kindle for reading. I find many of my books at the local library's Overdrive catalog.
Unfortunately, some Overdrive ebooks are not available for download in Kindle format and the required Adobe Digital Editions isn't available for Linux, my preferred operating system. The Ebook Scraper tool automates scanning the ebook in the browser and using OCR to convert it to plain text. It will "play" the ebook in the browser, scanning each page and then proceeding to the next. It uses OCR to convert the scanned image into plain text. Then I use Calibre to turn the plain text into a Kindle book. It's reasonably fast. It can scrape 100 pages in less than three minutes
I put the source code on SourceForge.
