We expect you have explored the links on that page and found there are
Debian packages for a great deal of this material.

I saw one or two mentioned. ( are they the webpages ? )
I like the layout that you get with the webpages and the links make it 
all easy to read.

For example:

https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#refcard

apt install debian-refcard

Yes, it's okay for you to download them. Most of them you don't need to,
because there is a more convenient way.

Many of the manuals are in Debian as packages to install; browse the
“doc” section in Aptitude (or your favourite package manager interface)
to discover many documentation packages to install.
