Summary:
Timo Hannay's blog notes on Savikas' presentation. Excerpt: "Some O'Reilly books sell very well even though they're free on the web. _Real World Haskell_ was their best-selling technical book despite being free on the web. Content was posted online and received comments. 21 people left at least 75 comments, the level expected by a paid technical reviewer. People pay for packaging and convenience, not just content (analogy with bottled water)."
