O’Reilly Media has stopped retailing books directly on its ecommerce store
This is devastating ... I don't have the income to justify $399/yr for Safari subscription.<p>"the growth of membership on Safari far exceeds the individual units previously purchased on oreilly.com"<p>... that doesn't explain why the two options couldn't co-exist.<p>"In addition to giving our customers the choice and convenience they expect"<p>... no, they just took away the choice and convenience I expect.<p>Over time, I've favored different formats based on what devices I have owned, and bugs in the apps themselves (OS X 10.11 Preview had terrible PDF rendering for non-retina devices). So there goes my choice on what I want to buy when, and what format to use where.<p>I hope this doesn't encourage InformIT, Manning, PragProg or RockyNook to go down these roads. Until then, I guess they will get my money.
