I use technical books as a medium much different than a quickstart or tutorial for a library / framework / etc. Last year I bought a Safari Books Online Subscription [1]. It's something like ~$400 but usually goes half price on Black Friday. The core is virtually every O'Reilly book and many from other technical publishers too. I've bought a couple technical eBooks or paperbacks this year, but for the most part this subscription has replaced that. It's also nice to not accumulate physical clutter for when 2+ years from now that book about hot JavaScript frameworks today will be ancient.
