There is a script at that link to download all the books. Replace "C:\Users\ENTER_YOUR_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY_HERE" with where you want to download them. Make sure the directory already exists.


NOTE: It will download the books in all available formats. So you will have up to four copies in some cases...
