The only value E-books have for me

Is in buying expensive books. If I could purchase several E-Books for a fraction of the cost of the actual book then I could find out which ones are good enough to puchase for a refernce.

For programming a new book can cost upwards of $100 and you can have 5-20 books offering the same topic. Now if you could buy say 5 e-books for $5 a piece I could review 5 books and purchase the one or ones that I feel would be good refernce.

Currently you can sign up for for websites like books 24/7 where you pay a monthly fee. While this works it's pretty expensive it you only want one topic for one time. But other than that it's an awesome tool that I use lots and have found many books I will or already have purchased.
