For those with decent monitors and eyesight, and who dont mind reading off a screen.. Safari has just (well a while ago now, I just got round to writing about it though) released a new tier of there membership called Safari Library

No longer are you limited to a bookshelf of 10 - 20 or 30 slots, with the Library you can now have as many books as you like, gone is the limitation of checking something out for 30 days minimum

For a techy this is one of the greatest resources available, with books on thousands of subjects you have a limitless supply of information at hand, be it at home, the office, or stuck on a client site at 2am

Just thought I would point it out for those of you unfamiliar with it who can handle reading online

Edit:
For those that don't know, Safari is an online bookshelf / Library service run by Oreilly and supported by numerous publishers including Que, Sams, Cisco Press, Microsoft Press, New Riders and lots more,

what is safari? is it free?

 

Ofcourse not

 

There was I thinking it was a browser for a popular ifruit

 

It's more expensive than my sat TV

 

JESUS HENRY CHRIST!

I like O'Really - their books are ace - but to be honest, that is ridiculously expensive. Besides, call me an old fart, but I like to have the paper copies of the books to read on the train, on planes, in bed or, generally, anywhere where I might get a break from starting at a screen after looking at it for ten hours solid a day at work!

 

Hmm
i look at it a different way
If i can have access to countless cisco books that cost me circa $100 - 120 a piece, I hardly feel $30 bucks a month is out of reach (it equates to about 20 quid on my card bill)

Also bear in mind this is there PREMIUM package
you can get a 10 slot bookshelf for $19.99 a month, a whole 10 pound

I know where your coming from re the screen Zeb, hence my opening line

 

can you not send then to print?

 

I believe you can
you can also download PDF chapters with tokens recieved each month of your subscription
both are watermarked/marked with your username so you dont go giving them out on the net!

 

hmmm, interesting.
