Default Tom, the problem is not as simple as it sounds...

You have very unique circumstances that these books were not designed to accomodate. These books were intended to be viewed only on a computer, and not with a web device such as WebTV...


The page content must have a place to be stored so it can be viewed by the proprietary browser... when the e-book is executed.


Unless you have purchased the book, to give you a printed copy would really be a copyright infringement...


Didn't you say at one time that your family had a computer, but you just stayed off of it and used the WebTV so you wouldn't have to compete for screen time? I think you may have to get in line for a couple of hours of time there to see this book.


While printing from the e-book application is an option, there is paging done, and each of the web pages that makes up the book is multiple pages long... This means that both text and graphics get broken up across page boundaries and although readable, it won't be very pretty and won't bind very well into a book... Perhaps these books should be available in a printed version as well, if you are listening H&L...


But if that is what you want, I can "buy" you a download, and print it out. Check your email...
