Archive.org Scanned Book Downloader Bookmarklet

A simple "1-click" javascript approach to downloading a scanned book from archive.org to read at your leisure on the device of your choosing w/out having to manually screenshot every pages of the book by hand. In short it's a glorified "Save Image As..." approach but consolidated down to "1 click". BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

Obligatory Legal/Disclaimer:

By using this script you agree to delete all book files/images after your 1 hour or 14 days is up! I don't support using this script for any other use cases. After all, none of us have ever kept a library book past it's return date, right?

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

	# + Incorporated suggestions from ShellCheck (https://www.shellcheck.net).
	# Thanks to Ramsey Dow.
	# + Changed call to `python` to `/usr/bin/python` to get Python 2, avoiding

	# 1. First of all of course get Manjaro:

	# I recommend using Etcher to copy the image to your USB:

	# 2. Before installing make sure:
	# - Secure boot is disabled in BIOS
	# - Your SSD, HDD or NVME drive is set to AHCI instead of RAID
	# - Fastboot should be on Auto or minimal, but this shouldn't matter to much
