Got an email from OReilly:

"Learn new technologies, build skills, and find the exact information you need to solve a problem on the fly.

You’ll get access to Safari's huge corpus of books, videos, training, and tutorials from 200+ professional publishers in the fields of tech, business, design, and more—as well as exclusive access to O’Reilly conference videos, advance copies of books, Learning Paths, the new Oriole interactive training, short-to-the-point lessons (and lots more to come).

For 48 hours only, you can lock in your Safari subscription at 50% off—just US$199 a year. And keep that price forever.

This offer is non-transferable, and expires on August 5, 2016 at 11:59 am PT.

This offer is good for individual subscriptions only. Multi-user or enterprise accounts are not eligible. The sale price—$199 a year—is yours for life, or until you cancel the subscription.
"

I'm not a subscriber, but thought it might be of interest, but you could actually buy a lot of ebooks each year for US$199…

  Thanks, I've been thinking about something like this recently.

  Does anyone know if subscriptions like this tax deductible for those working in IT, or is too general in nature?

    If it can be related to your job, then claim for it.

      Cheers

      Had a look around and it should be alright: ATO: Books, periodicals and digital information

      EDIT: Went ahead and paid via pPaypal - came out at AU$271.88

        Too late, but next time check what's available through membership of ACM, IEEE etc (assuming you meet the requirements to be a member).

        I know ACM have a custom collection from Safari and Books 24x7. They might be good enough and membership will be cheaper (~$200 from memory).

        My workplace has a Books 24x7 account, its pretty cool. If peblos works for a IT Company, then might be worth convincing manager for a company account next year ?

        @ChiefAJ: Ah cool, I hadn't thought of that. Might need to go have a looksee. Having a bigger library to search from is always good.

        @darkage: Yeeah, I've asked the boss about this a few times over the past 6 months or so and I've been getting brushed off so I've let that one be. Had thought about pointing this deal out to him but he wouldn't go for individual accounts and I don't think he'd spring for a multi-user account. All good, I can take this with me if I leave :D
