If your library does not own the digital copy, request a scanned chapter via ILL. Under fair use provisions, you can request up to one chapter (10-15% of the book) for research. This is slow but legal and free.

If you're having trouble finding the book, you might consider contacting RS Drago directly (if possible) or the publisher to inquire about available access options. They might offer digital versions or guide you on how to obtain the book. For Waveland Direct E-Book:

Bridges the gap between theoretical principles and experimental techniques used to characterize inorganic compounds, especially coordination complexes, organometallics, and solid-state materials.

Once you have legally purchased an e-book, here’s how to properly “install” (i.e., download and sync) it across devices: For Library E-Book (EBSCOhost): Purchase a used paperback

For Kindle (Amazon):

For Library E-Book (EBSCOhost):

Purchase a used paperback copy on AbeBooks, eBay, or ThriftBooks (often $20–40). Then use a university library’s book scanner (many offer free scanning to PDF or USB). You create your own personal PDF for backup, which is generally permitted under fair use if you own the physical copy.
