Reading technical books - paper vs digital What's your thoughts?
I haven't bought a digital book in 4 years. My experience back then was that the Kindle edition of technical books (ones with code samples and diagrams) was terrible. The formatting just didn't work. Has this improved in recent times, or am I still better off buying the paper version?
PDF books only work well on computer monitors - a place I don't like reading books. PDF's just don't work on a phone or 7" tablet because it doesn't auto format. So when I say "digital books" I'm more referring to formats like ePub, CHM, INF - something that scales to the device's screen size.
