They let you check out as many books as you want from their or other library collections (more than 15K books) for free! :D Some even have free delivery for lazy (or older) folks. You might also want to look into greasemonkey -- a firefox extension which lets you code your own scripts that you can 'enhance' websites with. There's probably an IE alternative.
