What it does

Project Gutenberg lists for your ebook library

If you use Calibre to organize ebooks, this plugin keeps public-domain browsing close to that library, with progress feedback and format fallbacks when Gutenberg does not offer the first format you wanted.

Daily

Top 100

Loads the current Project Gutenberg Top 100 and keeps rank sorting in true numeric order.

Curated

Emmy's Picks

Includes Emmy's staff-curated shelf as a saved list with a short note about why it matters.

Browse

Collections

Opens Project Gutenberg bookshelves by category with chunked loading so large shelves stay usable.

Listen

Audiobooks

Separates human-read audiobooks and sets clearer expectations because audio lookups can take longer.

Formats

Preferred downloads

Checks your selected format at download time and asks before using the next available non-audio ebook format.

Support

Issue-friendly

Plugin support links can carry the active section and selected book details into the LB Creations support page.
