I've never heard of a "dermatopathologist" (not that I should have). Thanks for the link.

BTW, your avatar is looking very dapper today.

What am I doing wrong? I can read these on-line, but as far as I can tell they are not downloaded anywhere. Author says to contact him for sales?

I used "save as" to get them on my desktop. They are secured pdf files and I haven't tried to get them on my Kindle yet.

Thanks daffy4u and AbFabGab, it was that simple.

I've never downloaded an eBook this way before.

That's exactly what puzzled me! I thought that saving a link would only save the link, not the file.

Anyway, the PDFs are useless. Cannot be converted to a readable format on my ebook reader.
Off they go to Recyle Bin.

Same here. Tried to up the size to medium, everything went out of whack. Every sentence has it's own paragraph with huge spaces between pages?
I don't read on the PC so these are to the recycle Bin too.

I was able to Whispernet one to my K2 as a test but the formatting is not so good, so both are off to the trash for me as well.
