Description from store
Internet Archive (archive.org) holds more than 34 millions books. Some books are permitted to read online by borrowing for a limit period. With the extension, the borrowed books can be downloaded for offline reading.
HathiTrust Digital Library (hathitrust.org) support added. All books with full view permission can be downloaded.
Usage
For Internet Archive (https://archive.org/):
After borrowing a book, two new buttons, "Quality" and "Download", appear under the book viewer alongside the "Favorite" button.
To get the current book as a PDF file, press the "Download" button.
To get each leaf as a JPEG file, press the "Download" button while holding Ctrl key (Command key on Mac).
To get only a range of leafs, press the "Download" button while holding Alt key (Option key on Mac), then input a range.
For HathiTrust (https://hathitrust.org/):
For books with full view permission, a new section, "Ayesha", appears above the "Download" section on the left-hand side of the page. The section contains three buttons, "Quality", "Tasks" and "Download".
To get the current book as a PDF file, press the "Download" button.
To get each leaf as a JPEG/PNG file, press the "Download" button while holding Ctrl key (Command key on Mac).
To get only a range of leafs, press the "Download" button while holding Alt key (Option key on Mac), then input a range.
The download process may take some breaks due to server constraints.

- (2023-11-14) Corey Murray: Thank you for making this. I tried it and it worked without issue. I do have one question, however: After I downloaded a few books (I didn't keep track of how many), neither the "Quality" nor the "Download" buttons appeared after I borrowed a book. Is there a limit to how many books I can downlaod at a time, or is this a bug?

- (2023-06-06) mrio0069: Funciona 100%
- (2023-05-29) Frank Utne: Brilliant. It saves me a lot of time and trouble. I used to have to identify the urls of the images of the first and last page, download them all with DownThemAll, using its indexing feature, and then create a PDF from the images. The only thing missing is an option to download the images themselves for further postprocessing with ImageMagick. The images are usually of poor contrast, color balance, and sharpness, but are easily improved, en mass, using IM. Maybe a future feature?

- (2023-10-19, v:0.6.3) Ally D: Download issue
Running into an issue it seems a couple others have had - have my adblock disabled, but when the download bar shows as complete it only downloads a 0 byte PDF and a crswap file. (Have my adblocks on that page disabled; not sure what else might be going on.) - (2023-09-05, v:0.6.2) Paperback Warrior: Mirroring Same Issue
Returning the book before download is finished. - (2023-09-05, v:0.6.2) Manhattan Johnson: Possible problem with new update
Since the recent update, which returns the borrowed books automatically after they´re supposedly finished, I´m not able to finish the downloads anymore. I think it´s because after the download is finished, it usually takes something like 30 seconds before the file is actually compiled and downloaded, but because the extension automatically returns the book, the download is left unfinished. Maybe it only happens with people with slow internet, or maybe it´s a more general problem, but I wanted to leave my comment here hoping that it can be fixed. Thank you. - (2023-09-04, v:0.6.2) Rolando Z: 0 bytes pdf
Hello. At the end of the process of download, the downloaded pdf has 0 bytes. There is a temporary heavy file that disappears at the end.
