I only read such paper books if there is no computer nearby or when there is a power outage ;-)

The idea of reading complete books maybe comes from school, where we had to learn the whole content of many books to pass the exams. I never liked this kind of approach because I often felt like I don't need it right now and didn't see the point of forcing it into my brain. (copy-paste from book to brain, at the exam, copy-paste back from brain to paper)

I rather prefer the "lazy" approach (in programming, we call it "lazy loading"), which means, only get the information at the time when you really need it.
