When it comes to programming books, I tend to prefer paper-based books versus e-books.

With paper-based book it's easier for me to flip back and forth through the book to quickly reference something. Also, reading code snippets is a whole lot easier since you don't have to worry about screen size messing up the code readability and formatting.




Not to mention hi-light, scribble in the margins, fold corners, add postit notes.. I like to get to know a book like an old friend.

When I first came to Japan a little j-e/e-j pocket dictionary did wonders for learning vocab. I may just pick up a new one...
