On twitter, Tim O'Reilly posts a daily (or almost daily) $9.99 deal of the day.<p><a href="http://twitter.com/timoreilly" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/timoreilly</a><p>He happens to link to stuff that interests me, so I'm happy following him, and there's the bonus of a cheap read every now and again.
I picked up the JQuery and CSS cookbooks. The CSS one really looked sharp and any solid guide on JQuery is a must have for web developers.<p>I keep getting suckered with these $9.99 deals. What are you doing to me, O'Reilly?!
Or for $20/month (10 books/month) or $40/month (unlimited books/month) you could get a safari.oreilly.com account with access to every O'Reilly book published (and more).
Argh, but they won't let me buy them because their website is so poorly programmed. Several attempts to checkout just returned to the "enter credit card info" page without an error. Switched to chrome was able to check out only to get "we were unable to save your information, please try again later"... was my credit card charged? who knows.<p>So irritating.
