Not sure how widely this is know but you can use Safari Books Online [1] for a monthly fee (about the price of a typical book) and just read them on-line. I generally read the book and use them as referenced in real life and this translates perfectly to an on-line media. Also, there is no waiting for the books to show up!!
p.s. my office also has a corporate account with books24x7 [2], but thier on-line format is not as good as Safari's.

(hcpl.net) I sure wish O'Reilly had an affiliate program. I would collect the name of every public library system that offered Safari, SEO the name of O'Reilly books, and direct people to their local library's license of Safari with a helpful affiliate ad to buy their own copy. Note: the public library version of Safari is not quite the same as a personal (or corporate?) license, but it is very similar.
