2. Right click on the icon, and select "Copy Link Address"
3. Open a new tab and pate the Link Address
4. Before hitting "Return" to prompt the book to download and open, remove "&dl_type=sample" from the URL
5. Now hit "Return" to open the file

It works; I'd actually figured that out about 5 minutes after I'd sent the query. Looks like the problem is still there.
Yep that worked. I have to admit I'm surprised, since "sample" is in the download link twice, once as a parameter and once in the actual file name. But you only have to delete the parameter for it to work.
