What to download

Everything in the chosen collections Only the authors I choose

Where to keep them

In this browser — simplest; nothing to manage In a folder on this computer — survives clearing browser data (Chrome and Edge)

Word look-upsAlso save the word analyses for these works, the LSJ dictionary and the Word Study index, so looking up and studying words work offline

These are kept in this browser, whichever place you choose for the texts.

Working out the size…

Files you already have are skipped, so you can stop at any time and continue later.
