A problem I had was experiential...  I was used to getting "serious 
information" from hard back books, and trivial, fun-type stuff from 
paperbacks.  So when textbook-type stuff came out in paperback, my mind 
did *not* want to retain the information.  I had a similar problem with 
web page stuff...  web pages were so temporary... you glance at them and 
move on...  my mind keeps saying "Next!!!"   :-(
