And while on the subject of PDF files and readers A flaw was found in Adobe arcobat here the link to the story http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16464910/

I have switched to a another PDF reader and use the fre version of their editor and the other programs. It is way faster on loading and so far it works great.
When I let adobe load and install a new version it removed my old version of creator because I wouldn't up grade to the new one.

So If your are in another country and can't get it to download to read or store on your computer. There is a good chance the below is the reason. I believe it doesn't work in the British Isles. So if anybody over the pond can't get it to work.
post it so we can make a list.

Just addition note that came up on another forum. The google book copy program is still being challenged and fought over in courts. As the finial ami is to make google more money with the print on demand area of out of print books sowed up. they will become the 1600 pound go-rilla. publishing houses and other countries. Along with the copyright owners are fighing this. But with the amount of money they thru at the libraries, and the number of jobs they have created with this project. I don't think there is a lower court that will tell them to stop till it is worked out. As they are claiming the right under the current copyright laws.

Like in the old 128,64 compter days with the archival back up software and xexoxed booklets.:D

It was posted on another web site that by using a proxy server you could download them in other countries. Don't know if it works or not or in what countries it does.
