You'd probably appreciate the recent cite on PlanetPyhton: "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" iPod edition ;) http://pythonzweb.blogspot.com/2005/11/structure-and-interpretation-of.html But my problem with media like movies is that they are designed as linear. A good technical books is designed more for random access. Easy to read those three pages again, jump forward a chapter, then back 3. True, its easy enough to mimic that in current forms of media, and the tech-savvy might get all excited about the achievement of doing just that, never feeling fully obligated to explain the advantage of their advancement over what it is mimicking - a book.
