[gui-talk] Fw: Amazon.com digital book service

Fri Apr 6 21:45:15 CDT 2007

1. I wonder what format they send it to you in when you select the email 
option?
2. A "pretty big HTML file? Like book length? Hmm. I just thought of 
something. If you can take the View option and have it presented online in 
HTML, then you could save that to a text file on disk either using the 
browser's Files/Save as command, you know, entering a path and a file name 
and choosing .txt as the desired format), or by doing a control A on the 
entire thing and pasting it into a Word document or blank NotePad or WordPad 
file.  Yeah, that sounds like a solution..
Just thinking aloud, as/like we say.

I don't know if this will work for you, but here's what I tried and it
worked fine.

When I purchased this book with one click, I was prompted to  log in and was
prompted to go to my media library.
I could have the book emailed to me, download it. or view it.
When I tried to download it, it was going to be a PDF.
So instead, I chose to view it, and then, it was presented as one fairly
large html web page.
It read just fine.
The book is called A Dish Served Cold, apparently a detective mystery of
some kind that I just chose at random to test this out.

Hi,
I am not sure what format the book is in. I cannot even find the text of the
book. There are links to parts of the book like the cover, copyright, table
of contents, back cover, etc.
