I learned that lesson recently when I bought three O'Reilly Python books.
Learning Python, 5th edition, $46.09 at Amazon and Kobo, $47.99 at Barnes & Noble, $63.99 at Google (?) and $20.96 at eBooks.com. (I also bought the newest versions of
Programming Python, and the
Python Pocket Reference (by the same author) for similar discounts. Basically all three books for the price of one at the other stores -- and Google's price is just absurd.) I don't know why, but eBooks.com is much cheaper on all O'Reilly books than the others. And you get DRM-free PDFs
and ePubs (both formats).
