Aside from the many other, obvious reasons, I myself oppose putting a
contemporary book (different *PERHAPS* with a relic, assuming the
information important & not otherwise available) "on the net," which is
ground we've covered already on this very list.
It devalues books.
Not to mention that the presence and feel of a book, including this one,
are a significant part of its character. Who cares about another download?
