This small utility allows you to keep any book with full view status on your own hard disk. All you have to do is run the app, paste the book code of the book that you want to download, and then press the “Check” button. The program will then check all available pages. Once you press the “Download Entire Book” button, those pages will be downloaded. Finally, if you press the “Save Entire Book As…” button, those downloaded pages will be saved to your hard disk. Pretty useful, isn’t it?
