Do you know any program for downloading Google books?
AlephZero said:But IMO google books seems to have quietly changed its objective from "digitizing the world's out-of-copyright literature for free download" to "making money for google as a bookseller's advertising site".

The program uses web scraping techniques to retrieve the HTML code of the desired book from Google Books. It then parses the code to extract the book's information and downloads the corresponding PDF or EPUB file.
It depends on the terms of service of Google Books. If the website allows users to download books for personal use, then the program can be considered legal. However, if the website explicitly prohibits downloading, then the program would be considered a violation of their terms.
No, the program can only download books that are available for free on Google Books. Books that are copyrighted or require payment cannot be downloaded using this program.
There is a risk that the program may not work correctly or may cause errors on your computer. Additionally, if the program violates the terms of service of Google Books, there is a possibility of legal consequences.
Yes, you can modify the program for personal use. However, redistributing or selling the modified program may be a violation of copyright laws.
