I've got legal, authorized access to cengage's ebook platform. HOWEVER: their built-in ereader is absolute CRUD. Does anyone have a tool that can create an epub or pdf from a given cengage book?

I've already checked libgen, anna, ebsco, and the online databases. the book isnt already on there, so once I rip it, it'll get uploaded by me.

I've actually started writing a script... but it's currently erroring out when trying to save the content, because selenium is stupid.

if you want to help out, here's the git: https://github.com/grillgamesh/CENGAGE_RIPPER/tree/main
