According to the page I just tried it on:

You save 40% on books, 50% on ebooks and videos.

This was on a somewhat randomly picked "Writing Web Apps with Ember.js"
ebook (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920030782.do) that went from
$23.99 to $11.99.  The same book on Kindle is $13.49 (
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Apps-Ember-js-Jesse-Cravens/dp/1449370926/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407849615&sr=8-1&keywords=building+web+apps+with+ember.js
)

So it's a little better, at least in this case, but in the same ballpark.
O'Reilly does give you several ebook formats, as well.
