Set me free with LibreTexts.

I've stumbled across LibreTexts.Math, and it could be useful to me, but I don't see how to access it in an organized way. How would I go about getting it to appear like a regular eBook?

Is the "PDF"/"Full Book" (on hover) link on this page, for example, what you're looking for? It gives me an 1159-page file that seems pretty well formatted.

Go to a bookshelf, e.g., calculus. Then pick a calculus book (click its title). At the top right there is a red button to get the entire book as a PDF. Some pages (e.g., the supplemental materials one for example) aren't books-qua-books and therefore don't have the red button, but most of the standard books do as far as I can tell from a few clicks.

There is no regular eBook. There's HTML, XHTML, HTML5, PDF, TeX, epub 3, epub 2, Kindle (KF8), Mobi, lmscc, plain text, etc. Please clarify.

The LibreText Living Library Bookshelves are organized.

In case this is helpful to anyone, the Diff Eq text by Lebl at this site is the text I use when I teach this class. I also like the Herman text at that site.

Response by poster: Thank you all. I have the subject I'm interested in downloaded in a PDF.
