Just paste into your console.. or make a tampermonkey/greasemonkey script out of it. | |
Only tested in Chrome. Be careful.. three tabs are opened per book. | |
If a books image is not removed, you'll need to try to download that book yourself. | |
Use this script (enter into the console of your browser) on the following pages: | |
http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/ | |
http://www.oreilly.com/business/free/ | |
