Safari ist ein Onlinedienst der dem Leser zugang zu mehr als 1000 Technikbüchern aus Kategorien wie Computer Science, Databases, Enterprise Computing, Networking, Programming und vielen weiteren bietet. Jede Woche kommen neue Bücher dazu. Erfreulicherweise werden nicht nur Bücher des O'Reilly Verlages angeboten, sondern auch von New Riders, Prentice Hall, SAMS und den meisten anderen grossen Namen. Ich glaube nicht das es viele Safari Nutzer gibt die ihre Onlinebücher wirklich von Anfang bis Ende lesen. Die grosse Stärke von Safari dürfte eher in der Recherche liegen, so ist es kinderleicht nach Stichwörtern oder sogar Codefragmenten in allen angebotenen Büchern zu suchen! Auch Bookmarks und Notizen sind möglich. Aber auch für Leute die wie ich viel reisen müssen kann die Möglichkeit mal schnell was online nachzuschlagen sehr nützlich sein, denn praktisch alle Standardwerke wie z.B. das Camelbook werden angeboten. Wer schleppt schon immer solche Wälzer mit sich herum. Was ich als etwas lästig empfand war das man nur zehn Bücher in sein Bücherregal aufnehmen kann, aus allen anderen Büchern kann man nämlich nur Ausschnitte lesen. Ausserdem lassen sich die Bücher im Bücherregal erst nach einem Monat wieder austauschen. Anfangs war ich etwas skeptisch ob ein online Bücherregal wirklich Sinn macht, gerade da ich noch nie ein Freund digitaler Bücher war, zwar gibt es noch Dinge die verbessert werden können doch die recherche und nachschlage Möglichkeiten konnten mich überzeugen. Safari ist also keine Alternative zum althergebrachten Paperwork aber eine gute Ergänzung.
