Listers, Got an email from O'Reilly yesterday, that I am quoting:
I can't speak for others, but I suspect that most authors will do like me and donate their royalties too.'Reilly, No Starch Press, and Tidbits will donate all revenues, less author royalties, from "Deal of the Day" sales to the Japanese Red Cross Society. Thanks to the Internet, we understand more deeply than ever that everyone on the planet is connected. The disasters that have hit Japan feel close to home, and those of us at O'Reilly, No Starch, and Tidbits want to do something to help the Japanese people recover and rebuild. We know many of you do, too. Working with the O'Reilly Tokyo office, we will ensure that your valued contribution goes to the relief of those most in need. We'll update the total amount donated throughout the day, as well as the final amount. We'll be extending our popular Deal of the Day to include the entire catalog of ebooks and videos from O'Reilly, No Starch, and Tidbits -- yours included. The deal won't go live until 12:01 am PT Tuesday, March 22.
Therefore, if there are books from these publishers that you plan to buy, today is a good day to do it.
