Yes, it's like some horrible IAP concept for books.
Normally a technical book costs around 40-60 EUR and one gets all the chapters. Updates are called "editions" and are published when there's demand and the information has become outdated.
- Yizahi 8y agoAlso "free updates for life" usually means free updates for several years and then "new product" is released with entirely new pricing and "old product" is deprecated. New and old here being a different revisions of the same thing.
- dudus 8y agoUsually yes. There are some exceptions with technologies that evolve a lot. The free update feature of the ng-book 2 for instance really paid off for me. But that was included in all the "Tiers" for free, it was a $39 book.
