Hacker News Reader

I just bought these. My only complaint is the same one I had last time I bought one of these bundles: I had to download each of the 51 files (17 books, 3 formats each) manually, one at a time. An option to download a zip file or tarball would have been very helpful.

If you prefer downloading the files the good old fashioned way. ;)

In the browser console:

    $('.js-start-download > a').each(function(a, b) {
        console.log($(b).attr('href'))
    })

Paste the URLs in list.txt and run wget on the list:

    wget --content-disposition --trust-server-names -i list.txt

For what it's worth, if you use a Kindle, you can have them all emailed to your device at once

The problem is that if you email them to your device, the books in your library lose their cover picture. I always have to copy them manually with Calibre to keep the cover.
