 how will you get the 700mb of files to milo?

the link you have send me to a page to download a file, I did not try it as I did not know what it was, I'm not a sky trek fan like milo is

 his int is not very good, maybe a better idea would be to send him a PM and maybe post a cd or dvd to him

thanks guys , dvd would be better, just pm 'd you CC.

i dowloaded that program but now have to learn how to use it...

Check out your local library. Many of them allow you to download e-books for up to 3 weeks, and its free.

 Thats where I get all my books too Milo (around 4 per week). To make it easy to take my books everywhere with me I download them to my phone. Plus the library provides Apps to use and will give you personal help in getting it set up and working

John, I downloaded the Calibre program but I can only see paid for books, is there any free one?  what am I doing wrong?

Yes Wombat there should be

here is a link

Good luck  John

 you need to download this app to you iPad

I presume that Milo has an normal ( Windows ) computer as well

I normally connect my asus tablet to my computer by usb cable

I remember that you can't do that with an ipad

what if you open it ( the ipad ) in your network ( don't know if windows can see the Ipad )

just a thoughts

and than put that file in the right folder

( in my case ebooks )

 Hmmmmm, My Antimalware program refuses to allow that DownLoad Manager to install. Its trying to install a mirror/mirror site in back ground.

Calibre is more an e-book manager rather than a download manager ... that is it manages files on your computer and syncs it with the e-book reader you want to use performing whatever conversions are needed. There are heaps of instruction sites and videos on youtube about how to set it up and run it. It's an extremely powerful application for both PC and mac - the different versions can be downloaded from here.

Similarly a google search on download free ebooks, or download epubwill reveal stacks of sites offering free e-books in various formats all of which can be managed by calibre. Torrent sites also have a lot of e books but downloading from them needs some additional software and instructions.
