O'Reilly Safaribooksonline goes proprietary

,----[Quote  ]
| Safaribooks online were availabe in HTML-View 
| for a long time and were accessible with free 
| software.
| 
| Now the O'Reilly Safari team has decided to 
| stop this and deliver online books in Adobe 
| flash format only for online reading. As 
| expected gnash does not work.
| 
| This means reading and browsing O'Reilly books 
| online is no more  possible with free 
| software.
