What has happened here is that a web site called isbn2book.com has simply published the mapping from books to ISBNs on the web, and provided for each book a default link to amazon that will only work if the book is indeed available at amazon.<BR/><BR/>And separately, the PDF file seems to have been removed from the web, as happens to many pdf files. But there is probably no connection between the two events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-15185417791535730522008-05-05T21:48:00.000-05:002008-05-05T21:48:00.000-05:00In the extreme case, consider the possibility of k...In the extreme case, consider the possibility of keeping a copy of *every* PDF file you ever read. Suppose you are a heavy reader of research papers and you read ten a day. Looking at the PDF files that I have saved, they might average a megabyte each. At this rate it would take under 4 gig per year, which is a trivial amount of storage space (my phone has that much now).<BR/><BR/>In other words, I would like to reinforce the case - save EVERYTHING that you might want to read again. The only question is how you will organize it over time. Should we rely upon the commercial digital libraries like ACM, or should we have tools to organize our personal digital libraries? I have my opinion...Alvin Anonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268049341572923471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-21913373057738012412008-05-05T11:51:00.000-05:002008-05-05T11:51:00.000-05:00Actually, archive.org wayback machinehas the inter...Actually, archive.org wayback machine<BR/>has the interesting feature of keeping copies of PDF and tgz archives.<BR/>It saved me from this situation over and over.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, I completelgy agree with<BR/>the download&backup policy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
