When I click on an individual book I get different formats for that ebook (e.g. HTML, mobi, lit, PDF etc). I only want the PDF file from each individual ebook . This means going to individual authors, then to books, then opening each, then copying the PDF file and pasting it in another main PDF Ebook folder. This is time consuming to say the least!
