Nonetheless, sometimes a hardcopy purchased from a publisher is best.
For example, Michael Kerrisk's 1000-page book on "The Linux Programming

Not to mention one can glance between two pages easily.

I do miss that part of hardcopy books. While you can bookmark electronic
texts it isn't the same. For programming books code examples may be poorly
formatted or difficult to read.

Hardcopy doesn't need batteries either. When the power was out for six
days last summer sitting under the tree reading real books was a nice
switch.
