+websites.
+.PP
+It contains one tool per website, plus an optional graphical
+frontend:

+.TP
+.BR getabook (1)
+Downloads books from Amazon's "Look Inside The Book" service.

+.TP
+.BR getxbookgui (1)
+A graphical frontend to the getxbook tools.
+.SH NOTES
+The getxbook tools will not try to download pages that have
+already been downloaded, so closing it and then starting it
+again later will continue downloading from where it left off.
+.PP
+Book pages vary in availability depending on the book, the
+website, and potentially the location of your IP.
