Safari provides a good service. Though it's cost effectiveness depends
on how you use it. I don't mind reading reference books on-line,
because I primarily need them when I am at the computer. But I prefer
non reference books such as tutorials, theory, etc. in paper format. 

Safari's 10 book-slot service with 5 chapter downloads per month, costs
$220 per year. I purchase approximately $400 in paper books per year,
and I get to keep them forever. I decided not to use Safari.

YMMV
