Maureen, I have found that different browsers can make a difference. We had trouble with Google Chrome downloading and opening pdfs for a while, so used another browser.

Sometimes individual books fluctuate between preview only and full view, depending on unknown factors but probably includes your country. Because of this I try to download the PDFs when I can. Of course you then lose the ability to search in them. With regard to this particular book it is actually 1263 pages long. It is in three parts and Vol. 3 is 466 pages long. I also hit a limit (p475) in what I could step through in the PDF, but found I could download the entire work without problem. I have a copy I downloaded about 18 months ago for comparison. The new version turns out to be a scan of the same original, as identified by an ex-libris stamp and personal annotations, but strangely the PDF is now 73Mb whereas it was previously 68. If you have particular items you need to look up I can extract the relevant pages and send them to you.
