I love O'Reilly book deals. Get an account through safari books and any ebooks you purchase you can go back and re-download in any new formats available.
What does everyone think about the new announcement from Barns &Noble to spin off Nook to Microsoft. I see MS trying to jump into the ebook market and potentially building their own Windows 8 based bookstore. Any thoughts?
moin moin,
it's part of the FSF's International Day Against DRM.

50% off the normal prices for O'Reilly and NoStartch books brings them
close enough to where I think the pricing should be, so I got several
things I'd been considering. I also picked up a few titles for work. After
buying them, most also come with 40% off dead tree editions. It looks
like that comes to about the same as buying the dead tree version + ebook
combo.
Anyway, big banner ad on the O'Reilly site, but the code is 'DRMFREE'.
Ends at midnight.
Any other IDAD deals out there?
FSF has a list: http://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide
