Paper or Pixels?

[DevotionGeo]

As Aston said:


I love eBooks for a number of reasons, the most important for me are:


• If you buy a book in beta, you will be getting up-to-the minute info and be able to access the book at every step of the way until the final release (and even then before the book goes in print)
• You will usually continue to get updates even after the print version is released
• If you have a Kindle or e-ink device, you can read it almost anywhere, and the experience is generally very good

Also,

• Often the links are clickable, like links to code examples in Pragmatic Bookshelf books.
• I read books on my computer, so I can jump to other related stuff (online) with just a press of atl+tab.
• I don’t need to remember at what page I was if I’m returning to the book after days. The iBooks (Mac), Document Viewer (for PDF on Ubuntu), Calibre E-book viewer (for EPUB on Ubuntu), Manning LiveBook, Packt Reader, Oreilly Learning, all remember where I left a book last time.
• Often the boilerplate code is repeated in the book too, so you can copy it right from there instead of opening the example code / exercise files.
