This discussion caused me to go out and rummage the 3M cloud... They've got some ebooks, although many I looked at were pretty old. The interface is somewhat difficult to use since the search is rather odd, and it hung the computer periodically for extended periods - I started monitoring things and when it hung one CPU would peg at 100%... But, at least it's another source.

As far as Penguin and New York... When their books get to the library here, we'll see. Until then, anything I look at the says Penguin is the publisher, DOESN'T get bought.
