I was afraid they'd charge like an MMO. Too bad that it isn't an MMO. They are offering a lot, but in the long run the prices seems too high for something you don't get a lot out of. You pay that price for an MMO and you can play 24/7 if you want to die young after all the caffeine you inhale. They should reward you for buying the books and give you discount or a month free for each book. So effectively they still get your money and it encourages sales. They could easily place codes for free access inside the books.
