Well, when I first looked at Netlibrary, I was surprised to discover I didn't need to create an account (where many of my colleagues had difficulty), so obviously I've been on before, and recently.
I can't say I've been a huge fan of reading actual books online; I've read all kinds of manuals, how-to's, faqs, news articles, newspapers and so forth, which may as well be books. But to have a digital representation of a book or such is trial to try to read sitting upright in front of a monitor (or, as in my case, slouched below the monitor). Similarly reading a digital replica of a newspaper (as can be achieved through our website) is difficult on systems lacking in either bandwidth (ala work network) or grunt (ala my home pc).
Still might be useful if I can download the entire book onto my phone or pda or such and take it away in a more portable and tactile format it might get used.
