I can't do tech books as ebooks. I've even got legal access to the O'Reilly library online and dual monitors and I still rarely use them because they just don't "work" for me. On 2/20/06, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There was a thread on CF-Talk the other week about the Java for

I have a friend, who I will call "I" (short for Ignacious). Most of the books I NEEDs, I has in both print and digital format. Even though the digital format is questionable. I has other digital books on a "break in case of emergency" cd-rom. I feels if he dips into the book once, no penalty. Tw
