Back in OS/360 days I read every manual we got, cover to cover, as well as all the updates. I still prefer a tangible manual that I can stick book marks into and reference quickly without doing repeated searches.
Yeah, I used to do that too (read every manual cover to cover). And I even used to get a kick out of inserting TNLs whenever they came out. But then TCAM came out with a huge monstrosity, and it's been downhill ever since... When I need to seriously study a topic, I do print out a chapter or two so that I can edge-mark and highlight. But otherwise, the PDF format has gotten pretty good. It's easy to add your own personal bookmarks and even hilighting to the manuals, and of course, they can't be beat when it comes to searching. Anyway, for PDFs, I think that size is simply irrelevant.
