    Hi! Something a little peculiar is happening to me with Google Play Books, and I don't know if you could help me. On the Internet I have not found anyone who has happened something like this.
    A few days ago I bought a book on Google Play that I was very interested in and that at the moment is not on Amazon or other similar sites. When I buy it, I can already read it within the application, but I want to download it to put it in my usual (offline) reader. When trying to download the file (which in theory you can do it in epub or pdf) I get an error (Error 404) all the time, testing it even from my mobile. I have contacted support and they tell me that the system has a limit, and since that book weighs a little more than that limit, it can no longer be downloaded, but if I want, they will refund my money and I will stay as I was. The pity is that this book is not in other stores. Is there a way to extract it from the application itself, since I have bought it legally, and the impediment that does not allow me to use it is a technical bug (to call it somehow), from Google? Do you know of any tricks to do this?
    Greetings and thanks!!

    Hello Anaoliviafiol, it occurs to me that you use the Greasemonkey method and download it "pirate" is supposed to have paid for it so the pirate methods should not affect you, that is, you are not stealing. Greasemonkey's method is to use some scripts through the Firefox browser that allow you to download image after image of the book, then you can join them in pdf and voila, it is very laborious and maybe heavy, but it is perhaps the only method that works for you. Try it and tell us !!! 😉

    I HAVE several books on my page, but does this not "load the machine and make it slow"?
