I got the same result: all pages after the Foreword at page 4 and except a couple towards the end are blank. I tried printing to PDF, then the Save to PDF function of the FoxyTab Firefox extension; I also tried to save it a a single file using the SingleFileZ extension that saves pages and data using a compressed single file (thus no conversion to PDF) which is directly readable by Firefox. No way, always blank pages after the Foreword. Not sure if that's a protection scheme or a bad conversion from pdf, but to me being forced to be online and use a browser to read a book kills any interest.

About protection: I see book is in github as a public repo. I will try to print with my pdf tools. Please give me some time.

Just link the repo?

With the right tools, it can likely be used to compile the book into a proper PDF, rather than using print workarounds.

Repo Link: https://github.com/eborin/riscv-programming I may be wrong. I am not able to see the content of the book. (I thought, above repo has the content.). More ever, I see copyright notice in the book. So, it is open for reading purpose only.

Seems, reading the book on the browser is the only option, that is how I did it since many weeks.

This is the generated book. Pretty sad.

Fortunately, as mentioned in my post at the root level, there's PDFs available in the usual archivist libraries.
