Wrote this for fun: an App Engine site to let people store, search, and share quotes from DRM-free ebooks that they upload.<p>http://www.epubhost.com/<p>Written in Python, code here:
http://github.com/rezendi/epubhub<p>Whole bunch of stuff I'd like to do, eg extend support to DRM-free Kindle books (yes, they do exist!), cache books locally via HTML5 for mobile reading, share quotes to FB/Twitter, etc.<p>Hopefully useful as an example of an App Engine site written in Python that includes use of background tasks, the BigTable datastore, Google's full-text Search API, etc.<p>I did make a cursory check for existing libraries and didn't find anything that quite seemed to fit (other than TweePy), but I expect there are several that I could and should have used...<p>Note that only Creative Commons and Public Domain books are publicly available (and I'm the only one who verifies what's CC and PD) in order to avoid rights violations.<p>I'm sure there are bugs, too, and notifications of such would be welcome.
