Dr. Ben Carson's Newest Book--Free for 24 Hours
One Vote, Dr. Ben Carson's newest book, is available free for 24 hours, at http://www.hannity.com. I don't know for sure what the parameters of the 24-hour period are, but I suspect that it is 12 midnight last night to 12 midnight tonight (of some U.S. time zone).
Unfortunately, this is a BookShout! book and so requires their app. My posting of this book does not necessarily mean that I endorse the political or other views of Dr. Carson. I am just putting the information "out there" to inform you of its free availability. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 09-22-2014 at 07:39 PM. |

http://www.amazon.ca/Three-Roosevelt.../dp/B004I6DD0G I have the companion book ("The Roosevelts: An Intimate History") to the recent Ken Burns series on my TBR. It will be interesting to compare them. James MacGregor Burns won a Pulitzer for his biography of FDR, and I enjoyed reading Susan Dunn's "1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler-the Election amid the Storm" last year, so I have high expectations for this book. |

In case anyone is interested, the book is available for sale at Amazon, in paperback and Kindle/mobi: http://www.amazon.com/Resonate-Prese...esonate+duarte. Does anyone know if it would be possible to "grab" or "capture" the version for which Froide gave the URL, and save it somehow? I don't see anything that would prohibit it legally, including "terms and conditions" that we would have to click on that we agree to. |

And if you're running Linux, there is the wget command that *will* recursively save a whole website. Been a while since I used it but managed to save a site about 4 or 5 deep pages. |

I'm not running Linux. I might give Scrapbook a try. I'll have to install Firefox. I've used Firefox a lot in the past, but haven't installed it yet on this new laptop. Been using Chrome. I need to check and see if there are any extensions for Chrome that might do it too. I have used PrintWhatYouLike and PrintFriendly to create pdf's from webpages. Both have worked well. But when I tried them on this site, PrintWhatYouLike didn't work at all, and PrintFriendly wasn't too friendly(ha)--I could only do one page at a time.Argghh! |

You can run wget on Windows:
Wget for Windows Make sure you look at the options - it's really easy to goof and start pulling down an entire website (which usually considered kind of rude). More information and links to the documentation here. |

I've checked it out some. It looks like something that I want to try. While looking around, I found that there is also an open source program (just a Beta version now, it looks like) called WinWGet, which is a GUI for wget (http://sourceforge.net/projects/winwget/)! If it works good, that would be great. Looking over the wget documentation gave me flashbacks of old DOS command lines.(ha) I won't write anymore about this subject on this thread. I'm sure that there is an appropriate thread for it, and I don't want to get in the moderators' doghouse.(ha) But, thanks, again. |

Just a warning on this one. Even though Google offers an ePub it can't be downloaded. The PDF downloads, but the ePub gives an error. According to Google support the ePub is over some current file size restriction they have in their store so won't be downloadable. They refunded me.
