Anyone here use Safari? I'm wondering if it's worth it.
I was thinking about getting a subscription, because I'm tired of trucking my books and fourth from work.
But the subscription rate is pretty high at $42.99 / month. That's like buying a new book every month. I usually buy 2 books a year and all the other information I google for or look into forums. It seems like a lot to me.
However, I'm wondering what other people's experience has been.

I have limited access to Safari and Books 24/7 through my ACM membership, and I use both enough to make the ACM membership worth it for that alone.
I'm also finding that I use my iPad a lot more than I thought I would to avoid carting books around. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't have a programming gig that required it, but now I'm really happy with it. I'm happy to report that both Safari and Books 24/7 work well with the iPad.
So my advice would be to join the ACM instead. You also get access to Element-K online training, and I really like their monthly magazine (Communications of the ACM/CACM) as well. There are probably other benefits I'm not even aware of. I've been a member since 1996 and always been very happy with them.

I think 42.99 per month is on the high side..
