Actually it's considered bad 'netiquitte' to download an ENTIRE site without the webmasters permission. Unless the site is yours of course.

Generally, the larger ther site, the more approrpiate it is to get the webmasters permission before you download it. Many programs that allow you to download an entire site say that it is best to get the webmasters permission before you do so.

If you examine 'intent', I'm sure people who put out websites, put them out to be casually VIEWED, not completely downloaded.

To use your book analogy, if you go to the library and borrow a book, it's ok to READ it, or perhaps copy a few passages that interest you, but copying the entire book (without permission) is frowned upon.
