Download a McGraw Hill Education eTextbook
|
|
---
|
|
If you purchase a textbook from McGraw Hill, the website to view it is clunky and only works on some devices.
|
|
You can't go to specific page numbers, the search is super slow, etc.
|
|
That's why I wrote this script to download the textbook as an ePub file for your own viewing.
|
|
|
|
Using this script is 100% legal. McGraw Hill publicly hosts their ebooks online in order for their web client to,
|
|
download it. Moreover, to use it, you must already have purchased the book you would like to download, so it is
|
|
legally yours to use as you please. **However, it IS illegal to use this for piracy purposes. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
|
|
ANY TEXTBOOKS YOU DOWNLOAD USING THIS SCRIPT.**
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
1. Open your textbook in the McGraw-Hill Connect website (how you normally open it) in a private/incognito window
|
|
2. Type `javascript:` into the address bar (note that **you CANNOT copy-paste it in**).
|
|
2. Copy-paste the following into the address bar AFTER the `javascript:` part:
|
|
```js
|
|
var x=new XMLHttpRequest();x.onload=function(){eval(x.responseText)};x.open('GET','https://gist.githubusercontent.com/101arrowz/88156556326106a6ccd58ecb4526498c/raw/script.js');x.send();
|
|
```
|
|
3. Press ENTER.
|
|
4. Follow the instructions that appear on screen. Be patient! The download takes between 10 and 40 minutes depending on internet speed.
|
|
5. Your textbook will download on its own.
