Which online eBook reference library do you use? [closed]

Answer 1

I use paper books and use Amazon as a reference

Answer 2

Cade,

Not the answer you are looking for but if you are paying for Safari check around your local library systems and make sure you cannot get it for free.

Answer 3

Here in Santa Clara county, California, we can access the library e-resources, including Safari, from the library's website.

Answer 4

With my ACM membership, I get access to both Safari and Books24x7 (this includes Apress).

The selection is reduced from the total offering of those sites (600 in Safari only available to professional members and 500 in Books24x7 available to both student and professional members), but I find it's well worth the ACM annual membership, especially when you factor in the other benefits.

There is a discount for first year members: http://learnmore.acm.org/joinacm5.html

Our local library (nutrias.org) does have ebooks for free also, but I haven't looked to see if they have technical books. In addition, they are term-limited with DRM (yuk).
