Google comes up with the coolest services.
Every time I look at the diversity of the things it can do, my jaw drops in awe.
If you don’t agree with me, well – just think back.
This little company began amazing us by providing the largest email inbox in history.
We can’t live without Google’s services.
Google Booksis one of the offerings that completely blows my mind.
The only teensy-weensy flaw that makes me cringe is the lack of offline support.
That’s where Google Book Downloader comes in.
Apparently Varun wrote about asimilar applicationfor Windows a while back.
It’s very simple to use and quick too.
Let’s run through it once, shall we?
Download the software from the developer’s site hac the planet.
As you could plainly see from the site, Google Book Downloader was designed to run with Leopard.
However, I’m running Snow Leopard and the tool works without a glitch.
Perform the usual ritual of mounting the DMG and dragging the app to your Applications folder.
Then there’s nothing left for you to do but run it.
Basically, the app is a downloader and compiler.
So don’t expect a juicy graphical user interface.
All you get is an input field and a big Download button.
Let me first point out that not all ebooks can be downloaded from Google Books.
Again, only free ebooks will be available for download.
Hit Download and watch the magic happen.
Now you will be able to read the ebook offline or on the go with your mobile rig.
As with every program, we have to discover the options Google Book Downloader allows.
The only notable preference here is the width of the resulting document.
Google Books Downloader will let you customise the width of the output PDF file.
Why is this cool?
Google Book Downloader works only on Mac OS X 10.5 and above.
