Paralax13818yI've got a few standing in my shelf, but the dust on some show I'm too much of a SO user

Lukas18728yThat's also true...let's say it's good to get to know a technology from a book.@MadHatrix

tecs328yI can't stand reading from a screen and am afraid to even move my Kindle, as the dust and UV discoloration marks probably sealed my attitude towards it on the desk forever... All my paper books on the other hand are battle worn, every page overflowing with dead-tree warmth, love and care. Ahhh... *sniffs deeply*

iAmNaN71318yYes. Bruce Eckles "Thinking in C++" and "Thinking in Java" are timeless, IMHO. And there is just something about holding that tangible heft of paper that keeps an IT person semi-grounded in the real world.

spl020438yI prefer paper too. Paper is really thin in some books now which spoils it. (Art of Electronics springs to mind!)

hayz8568yI prefer paper, just because paper book will sit at the shelf, and I will be reminded by it every now and then to read it.
Do you still buy paper (computer) books?
