The Ickabog - is it downloadable

I’ve been reading The Ickabog to DD and she is really enjoying it. I’ve just realised today that the book is only online until tomorrow. We’re only on chapter 20 out of 64. The book isn’t available on kindle or audible until November. So, my question is, is it possible to download it? I’m a bit rubbish at IT things. If it even is possible to download, would it be illegal to download it as it was published for free?

Technically, I guess you could copy and paste each chapter individually into something like word. I don't know where that would stand legally. Morally, I would feel that you could only consider doing it if you bought the book as well.

Sorry - not what you want to hear but you can't download it as it was intended to be be read a few chapters each day. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't take down the chapters each day as I initially understood that was how it was going to work. Tomorrow is the extended date as it was all originally supposed to go offline a few weeks ago but they got quite a lot of complaints from people who hadn't finished it. The book is being published mid November. Agree annoying if you are mid-way through now.
