They ran down once on me, but that was because my father wanted to watch a
DVD "Saving Private Ryan" the night before. I just plug the laptop into my
12V system. Between my solar cell and my Honda EU2000, power isn't usually a
problem.

Actually I'd rather read a real book that look at a computer screen.
Me too - I would never take the laptop over a hardcopy in my own library

Anyway thanks for the link... interesting list of authors... why
Herodotus but no Heinlein?
You're welcome! I'm not sure why no Heinlein, but I suspect they went for
books with little or no copyright obstacles.

For that matter, why Thucydides but not Xenophon
Shortage of Athenian copyright lawyers?

And do they have all the cool illustrations with the Rubaiyat??
No, for some reason they didn't include illustrations ($ 20 ?), but of
course you could go to http://www.arabiannights.org/rubaiyat/index2.html and
extend your e-library to include those sexy graphics. I subscribe to
Scientific American too, and keep a library on my laptop of all their
journals for the past 10 years. SciAm is well worth the cost.

Most cruisers seem to be readers, and book swap shelves are well
stocked at most clubs & marinas.
lol - You mean they're not there as beer coasters?
