Hi..

Froide and rcentros --- when you click on the link, do you see the entire book as a single HTML file (couple of hundred kb worth of text) in your browser?

Or... do you get a few paragraphs (a "page") with navigation buttons and page number selector?

In the past (more than a few months ago) I used to get a pagified version with nav buttons etc.

Today, I get the whole book in a single view in the browser.

One more point that should help resolve the issue :
In the current version of the book's web page, the links saying "Read this book online" is located in the table of different formats that are available.

In the old version, the same link was located above the table and presumably pointed somewhere else. See this blog for a description and screenshot of the "read online" feature as it is supposed to work (scroll down to item-1):

Thanks and Regards,
