Re: Downloading a book |
in the "View this book" area on the upper right side:
right (option)click the format you want to download. You should then be offered a menu that allow you to save it to your computer.

Re: Downloading a book |
Sorry I tried this and nothing happened. When I open the file under view this book it says all files are http. Then when I open this it has subfiles and they are in computer code and won't open. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Re: Downloading a book |
Do you understand what "right(option) click" means?
You need to do that to the links that say, for instance, PDF, ePub, Kindle, etc.in order to download the format you want to your computer.

Re: Downloading a book |
ah, i'm glad you posted the name so i could look at the item. the reason you can't view or download it is that there is no book file in that item yet. our process is to create an empty item prior to the scanning and load the book file into the format.
there are number of these on the site as many book item pages are created sometimes weeks in advance of the actual scanning.
apologies for the confusion. i can't predict when that book will be up but hopefully soon.
