Okay, this seems to be working...

Snapshots of the pdf file seem to be working.  It's not perfect, but it's the best so far.  Now that I've gotten all the chapters up, I've deleted the "Look Inside" tab, as it's no longer necessary.  You can see the chapter titles for the whole book in the 'Contents' tab, and then read chapters 1 - 6 at your discretion by clicking on the tabs (above) for each chapter you want to see.

I had to make 'snapshots' of each individual page, so you'll notice that each page appears as an image.  As you view the images, you may also notice that there appears to be a wider margin on one side of each page than there is on the other, and that it shifts back and forth from one page to another.   

This is not an error.

It is because these are the images from the publisher's print file.  The side of each page that has the wider margin is the side/edge of that page that is seated in the printed book's spine.   

When you're in the tab for the chapter you're reading, click on the first page.  That will open up another window with a large image of the first page in that chapter, and you'll notice small icons along the bottom.  These icons are for all the other pages in that chapter.  When you finish reading one page, you can then go to the next page by clicking on the next icon along the bottom.

The resolution in the printed book is nice and sharp and crisp, as would naturally be the case.  The resolution in the images is a little less sharp, but basically, you're reading the actual book.  

Let's see how this goes.  Like I said, it's worked the best of all the methods I've tried so far.
