Normally I am not into 'me, too's, but in this I agree. I have the full set of 
1.13 .boo books on my laptop and use them primarily (it helps that I am still 
at 1.13 most of the time). I also have a set of 2.1 .pdfs downloaded on my 
laptop (and will do the same for 2.2), but only use them when I want to see if 
something new replaces what's in the 1.13 books. The pdfs take up *a lot* more 
space on my laptop and are much harder to search. It's a good thing that I 
normally know which book I want to look into, so I don't need indices and such.

I avoid KC whenever I can. No only is it slow, it is awkward to navigate and it 
just 'requires' javascript. Also, it doesn't work at all using a proxy (like 
ixquick) for searching (with javascript turned off).
