... please, dear friends, It looks like my expression is not proper in earlier message. :)
There is no downloading OR no storing ... am trying to avoid this process of downloading and storing. ... it is a self-owned liability ... and process of retrieval becomes endless. Talking of using Internet Archive BookReader ... a browser plugin (downloads automatically if one chooses to view online version of the archived material). That makes the whole process of reading and retrieving very simple Please check one of the links that has been put by me. Regards.
