I agree - I was unaware of how cheap Safari is.

I had checked out Bookshare a while back - and based on this I looked at 
their web site again.  Unfortunately, they do not have a way to search by 
publisher.   I chose to do a title search for words, such as

DNS

Sendmail

Linux

Nothing for the first 2 - and the third only had 2 or 3, and I don't 
believe any of them were O'Reilly's.    If they have a lot of O'Reilly 
books they seem to be doing a good job of hiding them from me?

Any suggestions on a better way to find their books?

Does Bookshare have any other technical computer publisher on board?

Thanks

Debbie
