Free access to digital textbooks (until 30th September) for UK students.
Maybe useful for someone to data hoard and share before the free access ends if you can find a way to rip.
You can download book by book with this website … Need to paste the link of the book there and download all pages to pdf.
Thank You very much sir for letting us know and sharing this 
how does pasting the url work i have tried a couple to no avail
did you check the site it has instruction photos.
or
Thankyou
Great Job
hello,
i was looking for “matrix computing for 11-14 student book 3”, but with no luck 
Unable to download from CalameoDownload.com.I think they banned. 
With simple reverse engineering, here is pseudocode
Use selenium or any framework you liked
Go to the book url
Detect how many pages for the book
Here is a structured URL for each page
https://p.calameoassets.com/200406174654-2bfa9441783e162c8da42a712feda3e2/p1.svgz
Use For Loop from 1 to the last page detected in Step 3
You may skip Step 3 and For Loop until you get “Access Denied” or Error 404
Save svgz file
Create PDF from svgz files collected from Step 5.

All future updates will be available at my repository:
change time.sleep(5) to time.sleep(10)
You may change to 15
im running this on colab, its giving me error when executing !python calameo-downloader.py.
btw someone download all books and share gdrive link here
You can’t run this onto Colab. This script uses Selenium.
The reason is that I grab a book_id from the URL generated by javascript.
i see…
btw it would be nice if you or someone download all the books and share gdrive link here
It’s working perfectly 
. Thank you

this is a dumb code i write for downloading a particular book.
put this into a file and name it something.py save it .
you just need to go to the book you want to download and F12 on it then click the select element button on the console than click any page of the book . copy the url then put the first part which is “https://p.calameoassets.com/200330160133-befc931cf81b8df61613115b0a327a50/p” this much in the first_part variable than change the range of the for loop according to the pages. this will download the book you wanted in .svg format which you can open on the chrome by dragging any svg file to see.
the main issue here is converting these svg files to pdf. i tried everything inkscape , codes but the problem is with fonts. so i want to know if any one have the solution for converting these svgs to pdf properly. thank you very much everyone for sharing your knowledge.
Just print(ctrl + p) in chrome.then save as PDF.
can you do that to every svg files using selenium or other automation tools.
Here is a way to convert to PDF using Python.
