O'Reilly shop closes down - no more book sales, just subscriptions

Well - it looks like they’ve made up their mind - in a way that makes it difficult for the readership to change it.

And adding DRM is just going to make it much less as I know that I and most people I know will not buy a DRM’d book (since we cannot read it on many of our devices then), so… this still sounds monumentally stupid…

I think they should have asked why book sales went down. I think out of all the programming books I own, only one of them is an O’reilly book.

Most of my books were published by Pragprog, followed by Manning - with a large percentage of them first bought in beta.

Exactly this.
