Hi Debbie,

Yeah, I ran into the same deal with Books24X7.  I subscribed before learning
that one of my local libraries might be able to get it for me.  I still need
to check into that possibility.

As far as Bookshare is concerned, perform a browse by category.  Select the
"computers and Internet" category.  There you will find the currently
available O'Reilly books, and a few others contributed by volunteers.  I
consider Bookshare membership to be almost a requirement for any blind
person who has a computer, an Internet connection and is serious about being
able to read anything!  :-)
