For those with the BookShout web viewer thingie or thinking about getting it, there is not a specific option to put the book in your library for that, as there is for the other platforms. After you accept one of the titles, the book will automatically appear in your BookShout library.

I don't like BookShout, either, but I figure that it's better to have a book that I want that way than not at all.

I do wonder about whether or not we will have permanent access to our books. What if, for example, BookShout goes out of business and no one takes it over, what will happen to the books? Will they all just disappear into cyberspace? Or will we get advance notice and BookShout will somehow convert all of our books into something that we can download and keep? I don't worry as much (though maybe I should) about the ebooks that I have with, say, Barnes & Noble, even though they do not allow us anymore to download them directly (yes, I know that there are workarounds, but I don't have the time or interest in going through the hassle with every book).
