| I was looking to try a non-kindle e-reader, but my library kept weighing me down. While I had calibre and the de-drm plugin, I found the downloaded books on my kindle were in kfx format and weren't playing well with calibre, even with the kfx input plugin. | |
| Further, I found downloading books directly from web (Amazon > content library) did give me an azw3 file, which works well with de-drm. | |
| To automate part of the process, I wrote a short js script. It doesn't walk through all the pages in content library, but it does download all the books currently visible on the list. Amazon lets us view 25 books per page, so I just had to switch pages, run script, repeat. | |
| The meat of this script is constructing the url used to start a download. Device type, serial number, customer id etc. will be different for everyone, so it's best to download one book manually and check the network inspector for the request details. Apart from the book's `key`, all other details remain same for all the books (at least they did for me |
A git choose-your-own-adventure!
This document is an attempt to be a fairly comprehensive guide to recovering from what you did not mean to do when using git. It isn't that git is so complicated that you need a large document to take care or your particular problem, it is more that the set of things that you might have done is so large that different techniques are needed depending on exactly what you have done and what you want to have happen.
Sometimes you may want to pass the URL that triggered a 404 Not Found error on your Apache server to a script handling the
error. Of course, you could simply set the ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/error/script directive and access the environment
variables set by the directive to retrieve the requested URL. But what if this is not an option and you want the requested URL as
a parameter when calling the script (see below for an example where this might be useful)? Unfortunately, the ErrorDocument
does not allow rewriting the URL...
We could simulate the ErrorDocument 404 behavior using the rewrite module. Since we do not want to hardcode any URLs into
using mocha/chai/sinon for node.js unit-tests? check out my utility: mocha-stirrer to easily reuse test components and mock require dependencies
I made a list of 20 things I might want out of a monorepo tool for a Design System to use as a basis for comparing some of the options including Lerna, Northbrook, and Rush.
