It is *very* limited; though I think all or O'Reilly's books are in it (and
MicrosoftPress and SAMS) there is little more; they advertise Addison
Wesley, but there is only a fraction of their books.

> 2. the time lag between release as hardcopy vs. on Safari can be really
long

3. It *is* expensive in the long run, except you have a *very* broad
interest in multiple aspects of computer science.
