I've been trying to get the EULA for Expression Web Studio 4, but the site: http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx fails constantly, even if I use IE.

When I'm shopping for ebooks, the cover image isn't much of a consideration. It matters when I'm browsing in a brick-and-mortar store, but the small (sometimes tiny) "cover" (covering exactly what?) image isn't much of an influence when I'm searching on my computer.
