Awesome!

They provide several ebook formats, and they're all DRM-free.

Thanks for correcting my perception.

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.

    What I remembered from looking was that the discount was something
    like 30-40% - basically coming down to the Amazon price.

    By the way, the Denver Open Source User's group has a perpetual
    50% off deal.  If the LOPSA discount is lower than that, then you
    might want to talk to O'Reilly.

    We also get a discount on pretty much all of the O'Reilly ebooks
    if you check MemberDiscounts (https://lopsa.org/MemberDiscounts).
    At least, I've never found a book it wouldn't give me a decent
    discount on.

        This seems to be of potential interest to the group.  I have
        no ties to O'Reilly - except I own a bunch of their books ;-).
