Getting your Stanza ebooks off your iPhone or iPod Touch
Posted by Paul Rimmer / Sunday, November 29, 2009 (01:47:51) / (378 reads) Handhelds


This might be of interest to those of you that like to read eBooks on your iPhone or iPod touch and use the great reader app, Stanza. There are several places to download books directly onto your device from within Stanza, just take a peek under the Online Catalog section. In case of disaster I wanted to backup the Stanza books into Calibre, the fully featured, multi-platform, open source eBook organizer I've been using. Since there's no way to do this from Stanza I whipped up a little Perl script to do it for me. All you need is an SSH server running on your device and 3 configuration items edited at the top of the script. When executed, it finds the Stanza library on your device, downloads all your books and renames them from the obfuscated name on the device to one that can be easily imported into Calibre.
