Hi All, All O'Reilly ebooks are on sale today for 50% off regular prices if you apply a coupon code of "B2S2" (without the quotation marks) as part of their "Back to School Sale" special. I think this runs through till just before midnight Pacific Standard Time (a little over 8 more hours). These are typically computer books, and included labels are for O'Reilly, Microsoft Press, Site Point, and No Starch. All titles are sold without any digital rights managements (so you can read them on your desktop as well as on an iOS device or Android device.)
Here's the web page: http://shop.oreilly.com/category/deals/b2s-2012-special.do You do need to create a log in account. You get permanent access to all electronic formats and all minor updates to that title through you account. On many older O'Reilly titles, they now offer DAISY versions, as well as ePub, mobi, PDF, etc. Afterwards, you can re-download the latest version of these books from your account in any of these formats. I believe you also get notifications by email if there are new formats or versions. You do need to visit the link in your receipt, or on your email, or on the completed web page purchase to download the actual ebooks once you've bought them. And if you want to browse their general eBook page at any later time, the URL is: http://shop.oreilly.com/category/ebooks.do Here are a few titles that looked interesting, with prices before discount.
