  • Feedbooks is going out of business soon and its OPDS feed is no more. I tried
  • several other OPDS feeds from this list: http://opdshome.uo1.net/ including
  • the one from Project Gutenberg and found them all to be unsatisfactory for
  • one reason or another. OPDS catalogs are not standardized as much as they could
  • be.
