How to “rip” an ebook from its website

I bought access to an online e-book. However, there is no option to download the textbook onto my hard drive. I can only view it by signing in. Is there an ingenious way to “take” it?
Answer #1
depends
post a screen shot of your browser with the title page open
that page give you a special, normal or no Rt click menu ?
Answer #2
Here is the screen shot in full screen. Right click has been made in the shot:

I am able to retain access to the book even when my log-in session expires. But I would like to have the book downloaded.
Answer #3
how many pages ?
looks like they’re using a “flash image player”
you can save it as images if that’s the case
I don’t use IE much but I think it saves temp Internet Files as there real name
Firefox uses random temp names (example – 5fg4w87r25)
in IE if your cache size is big enuf you can view each page in it then go into the IE’s “Temporary Internet Files” under “users/Local Settings” and retrieve the pages/images
Answer #4
If all else fails, then take a screenshot of every page and OCR if need be.
Answer #5
I was able to download the individual pages as swf files using a Firefox add-on. How do I convert an swf file to an image or extract the image from it?
