I'm curious to know what people think about hardcopy documentation verses electronic form. For most purposes, such as simply looking things up, I prefer electronic form. For books which are intended to be read from start to finish, or at least large section are intended to be read as a whole, I prefer hardcopy.
I find that e-books tend to collect e-dust when I have only an electronic version. Anybody else have a similar experience?

Same here...I would rather receive things digitally, then I can always print it out myself. (my only issue is getting things to duplex correctly sometimes) Anytime a new manual comes out (as with a new version-upgrade) I print out the books for it. The PDF formats lets me do word searches, but many times I have to read the whole thing first to understand _what_ to look for... Yes, I can read them off of a laptop while in the car or something, but a book doesn't have batteries that die. -- Thanks, George "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP" (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
