The same happened to me as to Soph :( I think knowledge must be spread and not witheld. One day it will be available perhaps throughout the world.

So many great books to download for free... it's a shame I can't read any of them, maybe one day they'll allow people outside the US to download the books too. That site looks amazing!

If I like it, I'll go ahead and buy a copy. Plus, I can read it at work on my lunch hour without lugging the book back and forth from home.

Aesthetically how does it compare to holding a book in your hands? And why read SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE off the computer when you could get a cheap copy from most used book stores? I can understand why someone would prefer to read some hard-to-find book on a screen (some book only available in a small edition or held in private collections) but if I can lay my hands on a title, I'll read the "dead tree" version every time.
