Week #9 - Thing #22 eBooks

I've traversed centuries of art, literature, The Lathe and Its Uses (from the 1800's), and cookie recipes. Mastered turning a digitized page with a Mac mouse (an upward curve). Some audio glitches within The British Library, and how I wish there were greater enlargement features. Firefox kept having to relaunch. A very long and improved way from my academic library experiences.

At the ALA exhibits in June, I saw some beautiful volumes that were reproductions of rare books, complete with digitized colored engravings. How long until we order our books online like we do our photographs from Costco?
