Gonzalo,
Get Internet Archive Books is based on using an API that the
Internet Archive has been providing for years. Get Books uses OPDS.
GIAB was written first, by me. Sayamindu came up with the idea of
using OPDS in a similar Activity. He copied the user interface from
my Activity to make his.
As far as I can tell Get Books is not being actively developed. If
Get Books ever does all the things that Sayamindu planned then we
could get rid of GIAB. For the time being I prefer to keep it around.
It does a couple of things better than Sayamindu's Activity.
It might be nice to have just one book reading Activity and one
book-finding-and-downloading Activity, but there are good reasons why
we don't.

Yes, James, sorry, we need a Get Books component in trac.
Btw, why we have a Get Internet Archive Books and a Get Books
activities?
Is not better have only one?

I think this was assigned to me by mistake. The bug appears to be in
Get Books, not Get Internet Archive Books.

The activity GetBooks version 5 included in image 10.1.3
hangs after a
search.
Does not happen every time. Probably after a time when the
XO is not used
and power management close the network connection.
No information in the log.
The query is executed and the list is filled, but the
cursor show the
clock and the activity does not respond any more and must
be killed from
the frame.
