  I second Amos enthusiastically as I buy most of my books at bookpool.com

  About Omer's problem, the following might not be the solution he 
seeks [as it involves less but still significant $$] but it might help:
O'Reilly has come up with two CD-ROMs with many of the references that
Omer wants in HTML format.

  "The UNIX CD Bookshelf" contains 
      UNIX Power Tools
      UNIX in a Nutshell: System V Edition
      Learning the vi Editor
      sed & awk
      Learning the Korn Shell
      Learning the UNIX Operating System 

  "The Networking CD Bookshelf" contains
      DNS & BIND  (yes, it is the 3rd edition)
      TCP/IP Network Administration
      sendmail (yup, 2nd edition)
      sendmail Desktop Reference
      Building Internet Firewalls
      Practical UNIX & Internet Security 

for $43 and $50 respectively + S&H at www.bookpool.com [search for
"bookshelf"] to find them both.

  By searching for the keyword "deluxe" on the same site, you will also
find "WebMaster in a Nutshell, Deluxe Edition" for $43 which contains
the HTML book and the "camel" "Programming Perl" book, as well as
"Java in a Nutshell, Deluxe Edition" at $44 which is a tad obsolete but
does contain most of the Java docs.
