Took a quick look at some of these. Some of them are in PDF format, 
which of course is easy to either look at on-line or download for later 
reading.

Unfortunately, one I thought I might actually like to get, the BASH 
guide, was done in HTML, and is a whole @#$%^& lot of separate pages - a 
real pain to save for later use. This is NOT the kind of thing I would 
want to have to go on-line every time I wanted to look at it. I may take 
the trouble to figure out how to download it (other than the terribly 
tedious way), but I wish people who are going to make these things 
available would think about how users are going to want to read them.

It did say that there will be lists of more advanced e-books in the future.
