You can "invert" the immediacy by going to on-line first, then paper.
There are a couple of Java books I have that were available the instant
I needed them, and I read significant amounts on a %$#$$!%! screen that
instant and printed out several snippets while the book travelled from a
warehouse somewhere to my house. Once it arrived, I read the whole
thing, on the subway as usual.
Ditto for a security engineering book, and some few others.

It's no surprise, by now they probably sell more computer books online

What you'll see on the floor is impulse buys, best sellers,
childrens'' books and consumer stuff (ie, fashion, DIY, health,
humour). I'm not at all shocked that the tech catalogue is moving
online, as are others where price sensitivity is more important than
immediacy of purchase.

Chapters has been getting useless for computer books, ever since
Heather Reisman decided to dumb down the stores and turn them into
gift shops.
Chapters used to have an excellent computer section, which I
frequented regularly. Now, I can't tell you when I was last in
one, as there's so little of interest now.
