I have used Google Books to search for books of interest to me and was surprised to actually find some that I could read online. I have added these to My Library.
Google Books are currently working with many libraries to include their collections in Google Books.
You can find a full list of their library partners on the Google Books Library Partner page. Libraries can create a link to a specific title or author in Google Books.
If the book is out of copyright, you are able to view and download the entire book. In all cases, you'll see links directing you to online bookstores where you can buy the book and libraries where you can borrow it.

Task 12 LibriVox
I have explored the LibriVox and discovered the recording for "Pride and Prejudice", had a listen to part of Chapter 1...would rather curl up with the paper version.
Task 13 del.icio.us
Mmmm..well I have explored del.icio.us and can see some use for it but Google would be just as easy in my opinion. I have set up an account and discovered that when you add a bookmark you can make up your own tags. I seem to have spent a lot of time and to no real advantage.
