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 don't systematically print things. And, when I do, it's 2-up
with a small font, so paper wastage is no more of an issue that
it is with traditional publishing.


andre, i understand your points, but at the end of the day, i'd rather
print. one reason is that i'm enough of a nerd to take books like
"the op-amp cookbook" out to peruse over coffee, or when i'm
travelling.

i suppose if i invested in a laptop, that could change, but, for much
of the same reason i still use tape, i like the tangible, "hands-on"
feel of a book.

plus, as mike pointed out, i can have it open on the workbench, desk,
etc.

however, if mike decided to do a cd-rom only publication, i would
surely buy that, too.
