Books, books...oh yes, I had one of them once. Couldn't find the "On" button, and it didn't seem to be voice activated either.

Strangely enough, there's also no restriction on lending them to other people, and there's no way for the publisher to take them back once you've bought them. ;P

My local library does loan eBooks in ePub format, but the website is so poor that I haven't used it in anger yet.

Why would you use it in anger? That would seem counterproductive.

It's the kind of web site that starts you off at a slow boil, and works you up to full blown anger pretty quickly. For example: The "current page" status is stored in cookies, but takes no account of the session - so if you open the "fantasy" books and then the "science fiction" books in a different tab, "Next page" on the "fantasy" tab takes you to Sci-fi page two. Right clicking on a book link and "open in a new tab" opens the text "javascript:subform('item#9780141918853-6','')" rather than the book itself. And so on...it's as if the site was constructed by the Forces of Evil to raise the level of annoyance in the world. :laugh:

I'm awaiting the soft-cover release of the next "Pendergast" [^] novel by Preston & Child. I read way too much buy hard cover.

I don’t think there is a software developer who doesn’t know what is “O'Reilly”. I just don’t like most of their "books". Or should I say “technical references”.
