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."

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening.

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.
