Any advice on printing a non-print ebook?

by Sioux Aug 4, 2004 11:23PM PDT

Hello computer gurus!
I have a question I'd greatly appreciate an answer to... is there any software out there--(shareware?) that can allow me to PRINT an ebook that is programmed NOT to print? I bought an ebook a month or so ago and have to use a device called an ebookPro-Viewer 5.54, which I downloaded to allow me to see the book. I've paid for this book, but can't print it out. I have asked the person/company that wrote it to allow me to do so as I'd like to make notes in the margins, highlight, maybe even read it in bed, but they refuse to do this for me.

I have no intention of pirating the material. (I'm a book publisher and feel strongly about using other people's material). I just want to read it at my convenience without having to sit in front of a computer taking notes! Something on paper is much easier to go back to then searching through a computer screen for a long document.
So what I want isn't illegal--just convenient!

Can anyone offer advice on how to do this? (I've tried
highlighting and cut/paste. Doesn't work. Tried capturing the screen--that doesn't work either.)

I'm on a PC XP.
Thank you ever so much for your advice.
Frustrated in New Hampshire!
