Для российских пользователей:

после 24.02.2022 букмейт ушёл из РФ

Русский букмейт и мировой букмейт разделились, теперь русский сайт делает команда яндекса, не связанная с предыдущей, на другом движке, поэтому скрипт работать с яндексовским букмейтом не работает.

Скрипт продолжает работать только с обычным, не-яндексовским bookmate.com. Можно поставить VPN и качать с мирового.
