Google Book Downloader
Google Book Downloader is a free utility that lets out download any book that's available in "full view" from Google Books. Of course, most of these books also feature download links right on the web page, but Google Books Downloader lets you queue up multiple jobs and convert all of the downloaded books to PDF files.
The application is available for Windows and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. You can either install Google Book Downloader or download a portable version which you can simply unzip and run from your hard drive or a removable disk.
In order to queue up a book for download, just open the "add book" dialog in the file menu and copy an paste the book code, link, or ISBN number, click search, and then select the book that shows up. To begin downloading, right click a title and hit "start." and to export a file as a PDF, right-click and hit "export."
You can find more instructions in the tutorial.

looks like a google-authorized, questionably-sanitized implementation of BitTorrent!

Yea there are still a ton of problems with this. Its a shame because it could be a VERY useful app. The P2P and proxy dont work for me, it connects fine but the downloads dont come through. The Direct works on average for 7 pages then you need to restart the app to get the next 7 pages. The Page numbers keep adding up as you download pages which makes no sense because if a book is 297 pages, it will try to get more pages. Overall I have not been able to download an entire book yet. When these problems are fixed Ill be using this everyday. But in the state its in right now - its just unusable.
