A Python CLI tool that downloads books from O'Reilly Learning (Safari Books Online) and generates EPUB files from them. It requires a valid account login (or SSO cookies) and supports optional Kindle-friendly output.

Use cases

  • download oreilly books as epub
  • convert safari books online library to epub
  • save oreilly learning book for offline reading
  • export safari books to calibre
  • download book with kindle option
  • backup my oreilly library

When to choose

  • you have an O'Reilly/Safari Books subscription and want offline EPUB copies of books you can access
  • you want a lightweight Python script with minimal dependencies
  • you want to import O'Reilly books into Calibre or a Kindle

When to avoid

  • you need direct login support - the O'Reilly API changes broke credential login, so you must copy browser cookies manually
  • you want an actively maintained tool - the project is no longer actively maintained
  • you need a legal or ToS-compliant bulk downloading solution
