Hi Dave,

Have just checked and I've downloaded a full html file, 'right-click' save as gives me a good clean file needing no unzipping .

All,

I've just double-checked and I can load the html file with no bother .... sorry.
I can also load the pdf file ..........

I'm running Firefox/Thunderbird, but don't know if that is likely to make any difference.

Yes, but I prefer the zipped version because it includes an OPF(?) file which helps in converting to other formats.

I think he means right clicking where it said "HTML Format" not lower down where it said "click here".

Click on the link opens the html file straight away.
There doesn't seem to be any zip file in the email !!

Some will be happy to know that the HTML file has a Table Of Contents.

Lower down in the mail it's written:
"To read the HTML version...... To download the complete files, right click here and select "Save Target/Link As..." to save the .zip file to your desktop/reading device."
If you try to open that link you get a 22B empty zip file.

I'm not complaining, I'm happy I have the ebook for free. I'm merely remarking that the link to the zip file doesn't work. For all I knew it could have been a problem with my OS/Browser/etc.

Sorry, I didn't read that bit about the zipped file.

I just dived straight in and loaded the files-as-sent; saving as I normally do..

The .zip file worked for me. Maybe they fixed it.

If you're still getting the empty one, try something like this:
