Ah, a good use for my Safari account.

Hmm, there's you a resource; for ~$20 per month, get access to books to read 
online, download chapters in PDF format for later perusal.  I can read this, 
and if it looks like something I want, I also get a discount ordering through 
informit.  Safari: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/home

You do need to read a lot to make it worthwhile; advantage is that you don't 
have to store or resell the book later.
