I am building a website in which an epub reader functionality should be available. User will upload their epub books, and they will be stored on a server.

What would be great, would be to use the metadata in the ePub file, if possible the ISBN (), or maybe the unique id () to identify the book and look through the library, opening it at the last known position if it already exists, importing it if it does not... I hope you get my message ! David.

Here you go :

javascript:function%20ibisRead()%7Bvar epub=window.prompt(‘Enter the ePub URL…’,document.location.href);window.location = ‘http://ibisreader.com/library/add/?epub=’+encodeURIComponent(epub);%7DibisRead();void(0)

The default value in the prompt is the current URL (although I don’t know how you could get a valid .epub file in the URL without opening it first…)

Now we just need a bookmarklet that prefixes the http://ibisreader.com/library/add/?epub= and does the URL encode! To use e.g. on archive.org book listings... That’s awesome!
