Still looking for a "Download All" link for this.
Great information
+Simon Cousins, bring out your inner programming-fu and write a web-crawler with your language of choice to download every ".pdf" file on that page 🙂
Already half way through the code +Mohammed S. Al Sahaf 😉
The small glitch is that they are Bit.ly links to slow down crawlers.
I like a challenge though…
I tried to download a MS-ISO file for DVD.
The 8-files would only complete if I did them one-at-a-time.
Trying the Download-all just brought confusion.
It still took over 12-hours.
Free ebooks? Strong move by MS.
FREE stuff from #Microsoft ? Has to be some trap. 🙂
Its been around for years.
I have one folder of them.
I also bought the book–The complete XP.
(gave it to the public library)
How to get them all
1. Open FireFox (usually a Chrome guy too but in this case FF is the winner).
2. Download this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/
3. Go to the page
4. Open the extension, expand filters, deselect the filters, add 'pdf, epub' in the fast filtering, and tell it to go
5. Enjoy all the books
Does that work if almost all of the links are Bit.ly redirects and not actual documents +Paul Spoerry ?
I didn't even look at the links, but unless they converted them to bitly links after I downloaded them then yes, it works +Simon Cousins. I have a folder full of pdf and epubs I pulled down yesterday after I posted this.
Does Microsoft include the crayons? 🙂
Not sure about crayons +Scott Duensing but you do get a copy of MS Paint.
And a free calculator to count the money you save by not buying Apple products.

Blackberry are not even in the running any more +Paul Spoerry 😉
