Today I noticed a whole new screen when I clicked into specific Google Books. There is no longer a button on the sidebar for HTML. I did find it on the bottom of the main page for Google Books. So now if you want to print off a few pages or images, you need to go to the Google Main Menu page and click at the bottom to HTML mode. This is the only way to copy and save images of specific pages to your computer. Entire books can still be downloaded to a PDF, and plain text is still available at the book links.
Or copy and paste: http://books.google.com/books?output=html into your browser.
Clickable link to go directly to Google Books in HTML mode.
