Decent PDF, or other ebook, software should allow the addition of notes, comments, attachments, and a lot of other stuff directly into the e-file. In fact, one could add huge amounts of commentary to an e-book, commentary that would normally be hidden but could be invoked via a popup window, and this is something that could never be done with a paper book. Some people will claim that a paper book is more comfortable to read and this was my conclusion when I first began reading e-books. But over time I have grown so accustomed to the e-book format that I actually greatly prefer e-bboks over the paper kind. Also, building a library of paper books may be a satisfying accomplishment but then try relocating to a different home or apartment. One will need to hire 100-ton cranes and 18-wheel flatbed trucks to move the load. > > I do a lot with a hardcopy book that enriches it and turns it into an > extremely useful and fast reference.

Paper books, like photographic film and vinyl music recordings, are dead. Currently they may be a "walking dead" but it is only a matter of time before they collapse completely. This is the new world, the new age, and the new way. One must learn to do everything digitally. -- Systemd: solving all the problems that you never knew you had.
