Scripts to create an AppTapp repository for various free eBook sources.

Currently supports the Baen Free Library containing 117 books, and Project Gutenberg SciFi collection containing 163 books.

How to set it up:

To make use of the repository:

  1. Obtain an iPhone.
  2. Jailbreak the iPhone, I recommend ziphone for this task.
  3. Install Books, the iPhone ebook reader using the Installer application (http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ (1.4 only!))
  4. Add the repository to Installer:
    1. Start Installer
    2. Click "Sources"
    3. Click "Edit"
    4. Click "Add"
    5. Enter "http://library.pollock.ca/baen_books"
    6. Click "OK"
    7. Click "Add"
    8. Enter "http://library.pollock.ca/gutenberg_scifi"
    9. Click "Done"
    10. Click "Refresh"
  5. Select "Install" at the bottom of the screen. You will see "Baen Free Library" and "Gutenberg SciFi" are now available as application categories!

Sorry, the DNS server has gone offline, and will be down for a couple of weeks, while I am overseas. If you have a current copy of the source, the gutenberg books should work, but the Baen Books will slowly stop downloading. I will sort it out as soon as I get back into the country.
