$49 a month sounds like a lot if you read ~1 book a month and that catalogue is quite narrow. Audible has a similar narrow catalogue but a more aligned price. When reading more (e.g. traveling) I buy extra credits at a reasonable price.
I think Safari is close to the fitness gym upfront year plan. Are most people who subscribe really going to read $49 worth of their material per month?
- vector_spaces 7y agoI think Safari's content has a greater value density than Audible's. For example, I've been referencing a half dozen textbooks the past month or so on theory and implementation of risk models for the insurance industry via Safari. The information I've learned from some of these books is easily worth $49 and then some. I could imagine someone learning to code for the first time might find better value elsewhere with that $49 a month, but in my case I think that it works out.
