It says either/or, but it lets you download both up to five times each. If you go back to the email they sent you and click the same link again, it should tell you that you've got four tries left on the maps book and five on the Bible reading plan.

It's not really an error, but I want to let everyone know about it, because if I had known it when I was making my initial post, I would have advised everyone of it. When I opened the pdf of the books and charts ebook, I noticed that it is pretty heavily watermarked on, it looks like, every page. That's not much of an issue if you are just reading it for your own benefit, but it would be an issue if you copied it (which might not be legal anyway) to use if for some other purposes.
If the watermark offends you, it's not tough to make invisible. If you happen to have an editor that lets you do search and replace in binary files, make a copy of the file (since it's easy to wreck a PDF) and replace "[ 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 ]" with "[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]".

If you have Windows and no fancy editor, download "dd-0.5.zip" from here. Make a working directory somewhere that's easy for you to get to with a command line and extract dd.exe into the directory. Next copy NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf into the directory. Then use notepad to create a file named "b.txt" with the line "[ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ]" (without the quotes and no carriage return; if you check the file properties, it should contain 19 bytes). Now open a command line and navigate to your working directory. Type the following:
Code:
dd if=NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf of=a bs=480661 count=1
dd if=NelsonsCompleteBookofBibleMapsandCharts23.pdf of=c bs=480680 skip=1
copy /b a+b.txt+c fixed.pdf
"Fixed.pdf" doesn't splash the annoying Thomas Nelson logo across every page.
