The closest you'll come are the computers in the otzar.

Hebrewbooks on a computer has much more than these.

I've played around with the nook naki, and I hated it.

I'm not sure if it's the nook I hate as I've never used it before, but I definitely wouldn't buy one of these things to learn with.

It does have custom software to keep it clean from any possibly bad things.

I've already seen a netbook or two (in the B'M, not the otzar).

Is there an "easy" way to download large amounts from HebrewBooks?
Say, the entire Shas.

I've never looked in to it, but I know of people who were able to get their entire collection.

I have an extra nook lying around; might be a good present.

Find someone who has the hard drive and just copy the files. There's also a way to download the shas; i did it years ago. If i can figure it out again I'll let you know.

There must be a way to code a script to loop through every book, download it, and save the metadata (title, author, year etc.)

chaimmayer · « **Reply #19 on:** November 22, 2013, 08:05:53 AM »

Keep in mind that just downloading shas is 20 downloads. Shouldn't take too long.
