E-books have their advantages and disadvantages, and so work better in some situations than others. E-books FTW on the journey to/from work. E-books FTW as searchable references (but only if you can search them using standard tools). E-books FTlose on long journeys cos I don't have enough battery on my phone. E-books FTlose if they include diagrams or tables. E-books FTlose for giving as presents. -- David Cantrell | Bourgeois reactionary pig Anyone willing to give up a little fun for tolerance deserves neither
