I wrote an Activity for the One Laptop Per Child project which includes a text file listing all the books in PG and PG Australia. The child using the Activity can search through this list and download any of the books she finds. I didn't use the RDF feed but instead used the offline catalogs:
You mean the "The GUTINDEX Listings of EBooks"? At first glance these GUTINDEX look a bit less structured than the RDF format. Or are you referring to the MARC Records? Which, according to that page, are generated from the XML/RDF catalog. Also, that page refers to the "machine-readable format" as being the RDF catalog, so I don't mind using that.
I wrote the code in Python and you can check it out here:
Thanks for the pointer. Would you know of a list of PG related projects by any chance?
