Isaac Newton's Notes Digitized

First time accepted submitter nhstar writes with an excerpt from an article in the Register: "If you're looking for a bit of light reading this holiday season, Cambridge University is here to help: they've digitized and made available online over 4,000 pages of the pioneering scientist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton's most important works. 'Anyone, wherever they are, can see at the click of a mouse how Newton worked and how he went about developing his theories and experiments,' Cambridge University Library's digitization manager Grant Young told the BBC."

    I find it very frustrating that many of his books are not either free or reasonably priced. Example: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_8?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=isaac+asimov&x=0&y=0&sprefix=isaac+as the cost for ebooks of his writting from at least bloody 40 years ago should be a little cheaper by now. They are 8 dollars for kindle edition. I guess I am mostly venting. If anyone has any legal places to get his ebooks, I am most interested.
