How can I download a book as a PDF?

Open the book from Your Library, press the ⋮ menu button at the top right, and pick one of the two download options:

  1. Download PDF for Tablet or Computer, for any tablet, desktop, or laptop (page size equivalent to 6" × 8").
  2. Download PDF for Phone, a smaller, narrower page size for reading on your phone (equivalent to 2.7" × 5.85").

Both options produce a proper PDF file. Please do not use your browser's "Save Page As" to save the reader page — that saves a copy of the webpage and its JavaScript, not the book, and you'll see errors like Loading chunk X failed or .js files in your downloads folder. Always use the Download PDF button inside the menu.

Trouble downloading on mobile? Samsung Internet, older Android builds, and some Kindle Fire browsers occasionally block the download without showing an error.

  • Try Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPad, iPhone) instead. The download works reliably in both.
  • If the button seems to do nothing, check your device's Downloads folder anyway — the file is sometimes there even when the browser shows no confirmation.
  • Still stuck? Contact us with the book URL and the device and browser you're on, and we'll send the PDF directly.
