Wow. I feel just the opposite. When I had the paper docs, I could
take one on the train, take it home, know what I read, feel like
I'd accomplished something when I'd read a chunk, etc. I had a
relationship with the books, my tuning guide had a corner bent, the
app dev guide was missing a cover. 

With this electronic stuff, I can't 'sit down and study', I find
its hard to get a feel of what I should read because it all looks
and feels the same.

I really miss the hard copy docs.

My two pence.
