Absolutely right. Having the entire OED available online is a wonderful asset, though if you go through Oxford itself, the charge is steep. Just checked, though, and now see that Oxford is offering a year's access for $90, whereas not long ago it was $295. Seems to be a temporary offer. Better indeed if you can get it online through your library.
Anyway, still delighted to have the ODE on my two Kobos. What a treat!
