10 day free trial to every Microsoft Press book

I was poking around Microsoft's webpage, and I saw this page.

It is a 10 day free trial to every book in Microsoft's complete e-reference library. Not sure how many books that is, but it sounds like a lot.

I'll probably take advantage of this when I have a free week or something where I can just pour over it all day.

After the trial it is $249.99 for a yearly subscription, which is a pretty good deal considering...

The Full E-Reference Library is an online subscription service that enables you to search through and read more than 600 Microsoft Press books on a variety of Microsoft technologies and products.

Otherwise there are smaller libraries available that are geared for specific areas, such as the Server admin library or the database admin library. But it looks like these run $69.99 for a 3 month subscription. So it would actually be cheaper in the long run to get the whole thing.

How many MS Press books are you really going to read in a year? $250 will go a long way on most used book sites that carry MS Press books, and when you're done with a physical book you can sell it.
