It sounds expensive until you try to estimate the cost of my book collection. Double cripe.
The number of O'Reilly books that can be bought for $359 is depressingly small. If and when O'Reilly fully supports Kindle (and vice versa) Kindles will really start flying off the shelves:

UPDATE: Of course, some of the book pricing is going to need a reality adjustment. $10 more than a used paper copy is too much. And the catalog could use some proofreading too: did you know that Don Roberts wrote "Refactoring"?
