Do idea what's going on apart from the fact it does not work at all. I have played around with it for a good few hours and nothing works. It presents a bunch of Chinese characters and refuses to generate PDF. The one time I finally downloaded the pdf, it only had the first and second page along with the back page.

Broken. It says it downloads but when I try to download Zip or Generate PDF, nothing happens. Chinese characters just say "Error: No downloaded image found. Please wait for the image to finish downloading." even though it supposedly already did. I tried many times.

It only downloads 13 of 188 pages from a book, even when I selected all. It would be wonderful if it could download the book completely.
