Peter, thank you so much. I will be trying it when I am at home and will report back.
I really hope this means it was a global problem and it was solved. I tried last night (Indian Standard Time) and was getting the same error. Which extremely irritated me, since I found again a book double cheaper than on Amazon India or Amazon US and I didn't dare buy it.
Peter, big thank you! May your karma ever grow! It works perfectly now
