## What it is
A Python 3 command-line script that downloads borrowable books from archive.org and Open Library and assembles them into PDF files. It requires an archive.org account and supports configurable resolution, threading, and bulk downloads via a file of URLs.

## Use cases
- download archive.org books as pdf
- save open library borrowed books offline
- convert archive.org book pages to a pdf file
- bulk download multiple archive.org books
- download ebook images at custom resolution and stitch into pdf

## When to choose
- you want a free, scriptable way to archive books you can borrow on archive.org
- you need bulk or automated downloads from the command line
- you want control over image resolution and output directory

## When to avoid
- you want a no-install browser-based tool (use the archive-dl.com web version instead)
- you need a maintained library with a permissive license for integration into other software
- downloading books would violate the lending terms or copyright in your jurisdiction
