Is Tim O’Reilly about to shake up the publishing industry? Today he announced that you can now Buy O’Reilly Books by the Chapter! In the computer book industry this is a really great idea. For only $3.99 you get to download one chapter in PDF format, complete with a table of contents and index. I spend a lot of money on computer books. Sometimes when I buy a book, I am not interested in the 6 “newbie” chapters or introductory content, but instead I buy the book for the advanced chapters or reference. Many times I will not buy the book because only one chapter looks to be relevant or useful to me. I fully expect that I will be purchasing single chapters in the near future. Thanks Tim!
