Ebook Reader
A built-in reader for free, public-domain books — no downloads, no
account on some other site, just search and start reading. Lives in
the Game Center alongside the rest of the built-in games,
in both the web UI and the terminal.
What it does
- Searches Project Gutenberg's catalog (via the Gutendex API) by
title or author. - A curated shelf of well-known classics for instant browsing without
searching first (Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Dracula, Alice
in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, Moby Dick, A Tale of Two Cities,
and more). - Clean, book-styled reading view with chapter navigation.
- Bookmarks and reading history — pick up where you left off.
- Download the cached text as a plain
.txtfile.
Where
- Web: Game Center → Ebook Reader.
- Terminal: same feature, text-mode reading view, from the main menu.
Both share the same bookmarks/history — start a book on the web,
finish it in the terminal, or the other way around.
