My two cents : some of us don't live in North America. Paper has
its drawbacks, especially when it must be shipped across an
ocean.

I'd suggest that you and/or Scott compile your papers into PDF
or DJVU format and sell them for half the price, and no shipping
costs.


But sitting on the couch or in the tile reading room and reading from
paper is just so much better a way to read technical articles. Do you
really want to waste all of that paper and ink printing it, and then
not have something that's nicely bound?

I've been working on a book about the Mackie hard disk recorders and
I'm torn between putting a copy of it in PDF form on the accompanying
CD. Part of me says that people might want to keep it on their
computer in the studio and search for things in it, and the other part
says that once a PDF gets out, people will e-mail it to those who
would like to have it but don't want to shell out the cash for the
book (just like music).
