Thanks, Paul, what a gem!

I have bookmarked and added to my home screen to read at my leisure.

Tried to convert it to PDF and store under books, but that way it gave me only three pages.

Judy-
Try downloading it as an .epub file. That worked for me. Or get the torrent link and use that. Internet Archive is running slow these days and that causes problems.
