Pay what you want for O’Reilly books like Fundamentals of Software Architecture & Software Architecture: The Hard Parts, and help support charity!
Many of the Humble Tech Book Bundles seem like they offer little to no value. But this one looks like a good value of you’re interested in any one of the books available.

I hadn’t bought a bundle in a long time, maybe I just don’t remember it being that bad, but really? Even with the “extra to charity” preset, the charity gets less than Humble themselves? That’s kind of gross.
Software architecture is the skill that I don’t have and I bought that bundle. Some books are unrelated to my job (like micro services) but it looks great.
Even if you don’t work with microservices, but with traditional monolithic applications, you might find some of the base principles useful, as they applies quite universally.
You download them directly from thr Humble bundle website. They appear to be DRM free.
They are all available in PDF but only some are available in all formats, and the rest are either only PDF and MOBI or PDF and ePUB, if that matters to you

You can do a custom distribution. It does look like Humble takes a 30% cut minimum now though.
Thanks for the link, I would have missed it.
