Would You Please Check Out these Open Access Books and Let Me Know What You Think?

I run across free "read online" only books quite often, but never have posted any. I don't remember ever seeing them posted on this thread or even in this forum. Maybe the reason is that they don't render well on tablets (I don't own one so I don't know). I know that the OP of this thread doesn't say anything against posting them. I want to use this post to conduct a test. I'm going to post some "read online" only books and basically kick back and see what kind of reaction that I get. If it's positive, I'll post a lot more in the future.

At http://openaccessbooks.nyupress.org/, NYU (New York University) Press lists somewhere around 70 Open Access ebooks that people can read online, free. I'm sure that they are all ebooks that NYU Press publishes. It looks like none of them are available for free download.

I encourage you to take a look at these books, and let me know either by PM or on the open thread what you think. I'm not so much interested in what you think about the quality of the books, although I hope that it is good, but just the whole concept of being informed when I run across this kind of ebook.

Thanks.
