> always correcting me

no. I correct people when they are wrong, I expect them and wish they they do  
the same when I am wrong. You are not **always** wrong.


>always playing the clever one!

Thank you.

Very much.

Personally, I think non-functional data (books which aren't manuals,
as a short example) should be at least shareable and of course,
readable/usable. The rest is up to the copyright holders and authors to
decide what to allow or deny.

I don't mind having to pay for the types of books described above if
they do respect the criteria I described above.

->So you can see how I don't in the slightest feel "compromised" (did you  
mean "shy"?)
hay hay superTramp always correcting me, always suggesting words, always  
playing the clever one!

Compromise = comprometido (I believe in castelhano eres lo mismo!)
It that so cryptic? No, it so straightforward, so easy to understand... hay  
hay...

But that link is so great, that I'll give you a pass on that one. :p

I am a little bit antiquate I confess. I usually read my pdf books with a pdf  
reader, evince in the moment. I believe the next logical question for me to  
make is:
it's better to read a book in pdf or in epub? There is any  
quality-significant  difference between the two? And If I want to download  
epubs where I could find them? don't answer if you feel compromised in any  
way... you could e-mail me I suppose, for the sake of anonymity.
Best regards

Hi to all the people of this beautiful forum.
First of all Let me contextualize the question and be more specific:
I am talking about free books that one can found freely in the web. I n my  
case more like Tech books but could be from others areas of literature.
A more specific question should be: what is better to use: reading one book  
trough the browser (html) or reading the same using pdf file. What is less  
computer resource consuming, energy saving, etc.

I hope you understand my question.

Many many thanks in advance.
