So there's a preview of the latest Dresden Files book - Ghost Story - up at the publisher's site.

I click my way over there, feeling all happy and expectant and, yay, free sneak peek awesome! And then, ugh, it's formatted in Flash. Stupid flash at that, where I can't move the mouse without the entire page scrolling away, the pages don't respond to arrow keys or other keyboard short-cuts as I would like them too.

Dear Penguin. This is, what, six pages of a coming book? Would you kindly just throw them up as html pages and be done with it, I promise the evul e-pirates won't make off with all the loot even if you do. Thank you

On the content, though, it hooks me but good, hehe, I look forward to this book!
