That’s very useful if you are creating a website using your PC and you want to know how it looks in a Mac.
On the other hand, if you are a Mac user and want to know how does your website look on a PC, ieCapture is your pal. Not only IE (5.01,5.5 and 6), it lets you see your website with Mozilla Firefox as well as Opera.

First two weeks are free, but you should pay 15$ per month for 10 slots. Each book you add to your bookshelf occupies one slot (or sometimes two slots). You can fill up to 10 slots simultaneously. I signed up for a “Small” library which has 10 slots, but you may choose a diffrent setup like Meduim (20 slots for 25$) or Large (30 slots for 30$).
Once your library filled with books, you have two options: Upgrade to a bigger library or swap an old book with a new book. But there are rules: The book you want to swap should have been kept for 30 days. Its fair.
But the books are really cool! I am currently reading Practical Unix & Internet Security, 3rd Edition ( occupied 2 slots) and Programming Perl, 3rd Edition (occupied one slot).
I am planning to add DNS and BIND, Fourth Edition and Incident Response soon.

Reading online books have many benefits for me. First of all, it is not easy for me to buy a hardcopy of this books since they are not available in local bookshops, and buying online from B&N will take 2-3 weeks to deliver. So This way I can read my favorite book online easily. It is also much cheaper than buying the hardcopy. You can even swap your old books with new one for the same price. Or easily copy & paste codes directly from the book into your favorite IDE, which reduces typing errors and makes life easier.

It is worth ginving it a try. A free 14 days trial is available.
