It should work with little modification on any platform that supports these. This is a coloring book in the classic sense.

The user can choose from pages in the coloring book by flipping the pages. Once a picture is selected it may be colored by chosing a drawing color and clicking the region of the page that we wish to fill in.

The design has been kept simple so that the coloring book is easy to use by kids and adults alike.

KBookRipper is a CD-riper based on cdparanoia focused on audio books delivered on CD. The project will rip a set of CDs with the same meta data. The output format is OGG, not MP3. The CDs assumes to be part of a audio book.

I wrote it since I was very annoyed that the meta data for a book delivered on several CDs never was the same for all CDs and frequently was missing for at least one of the CDs. The crappy meta data made it hard to rip books with K3B.

This program allows you to enter meta data (author, title, published year) that is used for all the CDs in the book. The only meta data that is changed if the CD-number and that one is increased automatically.

Each books is stored on disk kept together and files are named with the assumption to be part of a book.

For me, this little program has been most valuable since I have ripped about 150 aduio books to put them on my MP3-player. Or, rather, my OGG-player. The output of this program if ogg-files. There is no option what so ever to create MP3-files (although it is a GPLed software and lame takes about the same command options as the oggenc takes).

The applications is made with kommander. The working part is written in bash and the script depends on cdparanoia and oggenc. The command play is used to play a little blip when ac CD is done (blip not included). The script will fail if cdparanoia or oggenc is missing (do the test in the settings-page). If the command play is missing only the blip will fail.

Ive used this for a about one hundred books and I have designed the GUI myself. I guess that disqualifies me to actually have any opinions about the GUI and usability. Du feel free to send me an email and give me feedback. If you think this application is useless, please let me know why.

AJAX Book Reader is a complete AJAX client-server application that may be used with a Web browser to display a sequence of text files one page at a time.

The display style is completely controlled by a configuration file. The first application of this is as a book viewer where each chapter resides in a seperate text file.

AJAX Book Reader application is also suitable for any case where it is not practical to show all of the text to be displayed at once in the browser window.

It is assumed there is a directory that contains text files named [book][chapter]#.[ext]
and directory has been assigned to the $shelf variable in .pt-config
and [book] is 1 to N characters to identify a collection of chapters
and [chapter] is the chapter seperator (default=c)
and # is the 0 based chapter number
and [ext] is the extension of the text files (default=.txt)
and each file contains one chapter of text
and there is optionally a chapter index file [book].lis
in the shelf directory where the first line is the title of the book
and the second line is the authors name
and subsequent lines are the chapter names

It is further assumed that read.php contains the div tags < div > with an id of title, where the books title will be placed author, where the authors name will be placed navbar, where the page/chapter navigation controls will be placed page, where the text of the page will be placed

.pt-config should be changed to suit your preferences but there is nothing else especially designed to be user configurable in the other files
