I think that there are positives in both. In terms on non-technical reading, books are still the go, they allow you into a world of fantasy. In terms of tech books, there is still a place for books - for a start, you only need 2 screens to work with if you have a book, one for an IDE, once for the email, browser etc, and sometimes, it allows you to get perspectives that you cannot find anywhere else, without the sift to go through the rubbish which is sometimes provided on google et al. PS (i still like printing out programs sometimes to find problems). :cool:
