Soo not really a computer problem, but basically i have access to this ebook online for another month. The book is an expensive biology text book which I'm going to be using in the winter. Im trying to figure out how I can use this text book for free.

Without screen capturing 1000+ pages, anyone know how i could download this ebook from the website? (pearson--if you go to university you'll prob recognize this brand)

I'd really appreciate a time efficient way of doing this, if not i'll take green captures and figure out how to compile the screen captures of each page into a pdf file.

I had the same problem with a textbook that I couldn't find a torrent for. I did end up screen capturing the whole thing and I had to do it on an imac with a big screen. A hint is just capture the whole screen without cropping it each time. you can do a page every 2 seconds or so and then as long as you don't move the window you can just crop all of them in one step. I did it with a 400ish page textbook in like 20 minutes so 1000 pages would probably be less than an hour.
