      • Or better yet, it is locked up, and you have to spend a whole day traveling to get it.
    • Only one person can use the book at a time.

    • Search in your browser
    • Download PDF/EPUB/XYZ format
    • Copy/Paste into your paper
    • Move on without ever having to leave your desk.
    • Everyone can use the book at the same time.
Nicely put. Certainly used to get more exercise in the olden times though, didn't we?
