this is how i do it - the spreadsheet method may be more viable, i haven't tried it, doubtful i will. these are the instructions i sent someone recently -
you can have 5 loans maximum. so after the 5 titles are obtained, click on 'Return now' per below - then you can take another 5. i do not know if there are daily limits.
1) go to url
https://archive.org/details/distributiondeve0000fiel2) near the top on left side is a blue 'Borrow for 1 hour' - click on the drop down arrow and choose Borrow for 14 days
if that is not indicated then it's not possible to download the title
3) the blue 'Borrow for 1 hour' changes to an orange 'Return now' with a drop down arrow - after you're done downloading the title, click the 'Return now'
4) scroll down the page - on the right side is '18 Previews' below that Purchase Options, below that Download Options - click on 'Encrypted Adobe Pdf' to get an .acsm file. when the file has downloaded onto your drive, double click it to get the title loaded into ADE (adobe digital editions).
if 'Encrypted Adobe Pdf' is not indicated, it means the title can't be obtained.
5) you need Calibre installed on your computer - v4.23. do not get a higher version. install it (if you have Calibre installed and it's a higher version, uninstall it - you need 4.23).
6) apprentice alf's adapted Tools (done by bibli0tik) v6.6.3
7) to install Tools:

f) it's important to make sure when you're back at the next screen, to click on Apply on the bottom right.
