here's a nerdier way to get the pages of a book from the lending library in maximal quality, when it matters. this is using firefox

  • in about:config set devtools.netmonitor.responseBodyLimit to 0

this prevents the network monitor from truncating large image responses to 1mb (resulting in half-blank images)

  • borrow teh book

  • open dev tools (F12) and switch over to network monitor

  • zoom way in

  • gently... in a RELAXED and peaceful manner... flip thru pages

    • keep eye on network monitor and make sure things are loading

  • filter by 'images' and with the phrase scale=1

go install https://github.com/outersky/har-tools@latest

make sure ~/go/bin/ in thine $PATH

  • run smth like:

harx -xmd image directory_for_images MyCoolHar.har

  • the files will have .php extension but they jpegs trust me.

    • your homie gimp will know what to do with em

  • they should be in order if YOU WERE RELAXED and not be missing pages IF YOU WERE PEACEFUL

  • you may want to nuke anything 0 bytes large:

find . -size 0 -print -delete (run in extracted dir)
