Great idea for the future - have you proposed this to O'Reilly yet? I too would pay a few pounds premium for the convenience of an online copy. I think would be particularly good for the "Nutshell" and "Cookbook" style titles that are maximally useful in a searchable, cut-and-paste format.
Websphere - I think. I didn't think I'd noticed it. You CANNOT ignore it as much as you think, because we human beings are designed to take in a shed-load more information unconsciously than we are aware of conciously. Perhaps the third or fourth time I "ignore" the advert, I'll be ignoring it consciously, but my brain will allow me to do that because it _already_ knows that there is nothing useful for me there. Perhaps I'm just naturally the kind of person who's head turns towards shiny things, but don't kid yourself that you don't do this. It is a survival instinct. You pose an interesting question here though, I wonder how many people did and didn't remember. I don't have any involvement with WebSphere - I hope the initial poster didn't either, or I'm totally duped!
