Yes, exactly. And I was the person bemoaning Kinkos (mostly, their inability to obtain/use the latest version of Reader; they couldn't/wouldn't open the file!).
There are all kinds of reasons why people may prefer printed material to online material: *Readability (higher print resolution) *User characteristics (hiliting text, scribbling in margins, etc.) *Where you can 'use' it (can't lug my laptop in the tub/in bed with low light/outdoors with high light). etc. So, why did I buy the PDF? Like Marian, I suddenly decided that I wanted it NOW. Like Thomas, I sometimes like to look over the index for either something related to what I think I want to do OR for new, interesting things to tackle (which, by nature, I wouldn't know necessarily the correct word for searching purposes).
