O'Reilly goes subscription
-
O'Reilly is moving to a yearly fee for unlimited access to their books.
I wonder how this works with downloaded books now? What stops you from just downloading all PDFs, then canceling after first year? I guess the desire to access the new books next year.

Going to, as in over a decade ago? This is how O'Reilly has been for forever.

Looked it up, 17.5 years ago this came out

At $40/month or $400/year, it sucks that they don't give businesses a little bit of a break for multiple users.

But was it an announcement, or an ad? Safari has been the industry standard book service since my early 20s. NTG used to provide subscriptions long ago to staff. Most companies I've worked at offered it.

at this point, I'm sure it was an ad. It wasn't presented as an ad, and I've never head of Safari book services before, so it seemed like a new service they were now providing.
