Does not seem to be working, I can't open any of the books.

Scope was badly configured. Fixed.

Logo is unfortunately not an icon (it must be squared, and target resolution is 48x48, so text must be readable at this resolution). Favicon of the website is 64x64 so let's use this for now.

All that been said, the collection is huge. All books are available in 5 distinct file formats (PDF, ePUB, ...) but no reader is provided on the website. 11 languages are present : https://onemorelibrary.com/index.php/en/languages. The collection is divided in many categories: https://onemorelibrary.com/index.php/en/categories. Search engine is not working offline, making it hard to find a book. For all these reasons, I don't think that using zimit is a wise choice.

I very strongly recommend to create a custom scraper to create at least one book per language or even per main category and language, include a proper search engine and embed readers (PDF / ePUB at least) in the ZIM. And maybe include only few file formats to save space. Or create one ZIM per file format as well (having n file formats in the ZIM artificially multiplied the ZIM size by n for very limited added value to the end user who will probably use only one format, especially on this source where all books seems to be available in all file formats).

Yeah, makes sense.
