I tried Safari/O'Reilly Online and I think it is too expensive.
The time I can spend every month for "extra" reading translates to roughly one book. For 49 USD a month, I could just buy the book secondhand every month (and even sell it further when done).
I would have happily paid 5 USD a month, but 49 USD, that's way too much for the value, for me.
I wish they had pricing based on countries PPP instead of a flat international pricing, it's kinda expensive if you're not from a first world country cause atleast where I am, $588 (49x12) would easily pay for a semester of college. O'Reilly does have local reprints of the books for slightly cheaper through their partners here but I wish they would also implement a similar pricing discount for Safari
If you have a local library system, it might have a subscription. It saves the library a lot of money versus physical copies and gives the user a lot more possibilities.
