How It Works

1. Downloads all-books.json from the website (~5MB)
2. Caches locally at ~/.cache/ebook-search/all-books.json
3. Cache refreshes every 24 hours automatically
4. Searches by title, author, and category (case-insensitive, multi-word)

Book Data Structure

Each book has:

• title - Book title
• author - Author name
• category - Genre/category (武侠, 科幻, 文学, etc.)
• link - Download URL (ctfile.com/城通网盘)
• formats - Available formats (epub, mobi, azw3)
• language - Language code (ZH, EN)

Workflow

1. Run search with user's query
2. Present results in a readable format
3. When user picks a book, show the download link
4. If user wants more results, increase -l limit or refine keywords

Tips

• Use multiple keywords for better results (e.g., "金庸 武侠")
• Check categories first to find the right genre
• Run update if searches return stale results
• The download links are on ctfile.com (城通网盘) - users need to visit them in browser
