Tim,

Thank you for this pointer.  Now, considering that I can't find the download 
option when I click on the title menu in the way you described, where in the 
Users file structure do I find the books?  I would like to know where they 
actually reside in the structure of my folders.

Many thanks in advance

Andrew
