HOW TO VIEW THE BOOKS: Select the book title link before (read online). Sometimes you will go directly to the book. Sometimes you must choose a format. Scroll to the bottom of the page that opens. Here you see "Formats available for download". If there is an "HTML" format available, choose the HTML format that is not a zip file. If there is no HTML format choose "Plain text" in the format that is not a zip file. You can now view the book on your screen. If you want to save the book to your computer choose the zip file.

IF THE WORDS ARE TOO SMALL: Put your cursor on "View" at the top of your screen. Move down to "text size" and choose "larger" or "largest" in IE, or "increase" or "zoom in" if you are using the Firefox browser. You may need to increase it two times or more. Now you can read the text easily.
