Probably nothing that I could use, but a great cache of free books, for the right people!

If you already have an account with O'Reilly you can't use it. Or at least I couldn't figure out how to. I signed into my account and I still can't download the books without filling in my name and email address for each and every freaking book. I guess since the books are free they want to make you work for it?

I even went to one of the free books by signing in and bringing up a list of books to purchase. The free books were there too, but they still want your name and email address to download them.

Hmmmm . . . there is a feature that automatically placed itself on my computer the last two or three times that I installed either a Windows revision or the Chrome browser (the one that I use). It automatically fills in all of the fields in a form on a webpage. I routinely use it for filling in exactly the kind of form that you're talking about, but it also fills in forms with many different fields (occasionally it puts the wrong information when there is an unusual field name, but it is easy enough to scan over everything before submitting the form). Wish I knew more about where the feature/app came from and how you might get it. If I had to guess, I would say that it is an extension of some kind. Probably browsers other than Chrome also offer a similar feature. MobileReaders, any answers?

I don't use my computer very often since getting my 8 inch tablet. The extra inch is a lot better for web browsing. My name for this purpose is not my real name anyway nor do I want it to be. I also just discovered that you can use a single letter for your name and anything with an @ for the email address. Including just using the @ with no letters.

Thanks anyway.

Good hint. Over time, will add up to a lot of time savings!
