More about this activity
Internet Archive is a website containing about a million ebooks created by scanning in page images from books that are out of copyright. The books are in PDF, DJVU, and EPUB formats, and this Activity will let you search the archive by Author and Title and download the books you find. When you select a book in the results table you will see all the information the archive keeps for that title, including publisher, a description, language, and more. This meta information will be saved in the Journal description field when you download the book to the Journal.
This Activity only downloads the books. You can use the core Read Activity to read the books. The best format available is DJVU. The EPUBs from archive.org are usually automatically generated via OCR and are often barely readable because of that.
