I have to pay a subscription to view a book, I can't view without internet.

Is it possible to download it. I was going to print screen each page but wondered if there was a better way.

why would you want a book as an image file?? just search for the book en ebook format elsewhere. Is it a college class book? post the title and we'll help you look

Aren't college class books usually on libgen?

Also as @finestnothing@lemmy.world suggested, there are these options

This link has more books and 1 or two new releases but not all the new books.

It's a shame there isn't an app that can download the book when I view It online.

Thanks, but thoae are old books and the ones on the paid link are updated. :(

I personally like https://annas-archive.org/ for pirating my books, or one of the libgen mirrors if it's not there

[–] greenhan3le@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, this did help and had 1 or two new releases but not the collection in the link I posted.

Many websites allow you to download books. I don't know the one you're using specifically, but you can probably find the book somewhere else.

Try search it on annas project

https://annas-archive.org/

You might find it.

For who wondering and less time for digging around, the OP have to subcribe for at least £431.00 per year on https://shop.theiet.org/product/gold-package-1-yr-subscription

Thank you. The 830 page book that I found as individual previews on some Chinese site, downloaded each page separately as image (which it was giving for previews), and put together into 1 PDF over the course of 3 days is also there, on libgen.is.
