Being able to legally download and print an old-French crusade chronicle from a 19th-century edition of the BNF site pretty much rocks.

But not as much as being to download 5 600-1000 page 19th-century collections of crusade sources. I love technology today.

Edit: It turns out that the French have been very, very, busy generating .pdfs of lots of stuff in the national library. I'm in the academic equivalent of a child who just ate tons of chocolate cake. Very happy. A little sugar-shocked.

I was going to ask "what's BNF in this context", but I think I just figured it out*. I'm a little slow today, probably because I haven't been awake for very long.

* Bibliotecque Nationale Francaise, being lazy about accents.
