O'Reilly and Associates just announced that they're offering a 50% discount on every ebook they sell (or 60% for orders of more than $100). Amazon is competing with a massive ebook sale of their own, offering "up to 80% off" on over 2,000 Kindle ebooks. But O'Reilly and Associates notes that their ebooks are DRM-free, and they're also offering discounts on their videos (which includes cloud syncing and a lifetime of free updates...)
