- O’Reilly subscription offers unlimited access to a vast catalog of technical books, including titles from Manning and others, along with conference recordings and webinars.
- The subscription cost of $500 per year is not justified for the user due to slow reading pace of technical books.
- The mobile client's usability issues include poor synchronization, frequent app reloads to the start screen, and unsatisfactory reading themes compared to Apple Books or Kindle.
- The user plans not to renew the subscription, opting instead to purchase individual books from platforms like Kobo for DRM-free access and permanent ownership.
- User mentions having leftover credits from a previous Manning subscription.
