O'Reilly Discounts Every eBook By 50% (oreilly.com)
On Friday, O'Reilly Media announced "Our Cyber Monday sale starts now."
An anonymous reader writes: They're offering a 50% discount on every ebook they publish -- over 14,000 titles from O'Reilly, No Starch Press, Pearson, A Book Apart, Make, Packt, and 25 other book publishers. (And they're offering a 60 percent discount on orders over $100.) Just use the code CYBER16 when checking out to claim the discount. The sale continues through Tuesday morning at 5 a.m. PST.
These are all DRM-free ebooks (in multiple formats), and there's even some "early release" editions -- advance copies distributed before their official publication. The discount also applies to new titles like "Head First Python" as well as old-school classics like "Learning Perl". Right now their best-sellers are "Wicked Cool Shell Scripts", "Modern Linux Administration", and "You Don't Know JS: Up and Going" -- but again, the discount applies to any ebook that they sell, and they also still have their selection of free programming texts.

Ebook piracy is rampant, does anyone buy ebooks anymore?
I don't know where to find all of them and if they are fairly priced I may buy them.
Anyway what I really wanted to point out is the current book bundle over at https://www.humblebundle.com/b...
It beats 50% off.
