If you buy an O'Reilly ebook from another vendor, you can get the same updates and multiformat rights by registering the ebook with O'Reilly for a nominal fee. I've done this with some books I bought from Amazon. I forget the details, but it was pretty quick and easy.

Great information. I was not aware . . . .
Like you j.p.s., I've gone ebook almost exclusively. Even five years ago, I could not have pictured me doing that.
About the only time that I make an exception is when the ebook is much more expensive than the dead-tree version, and when I have no need, with the book, for the digital benefits (cut-and-paste,
et al.)--such books would be books for my casual reading, mainly.
