I ride the tube to work every morning for 40 minutes one way, and learnt
a lot in that otherwise wasted time through ink on dead tree technology.
Also, reading on a screen for too long tires your eyes so much faster
than passive in a book. Another thing is that books tend to have tested
and proven solutions, well, good ones that is, whereas a lot of web
publications are a lot faster and up to date, but also very
misleading or just plain wrong, when there was no editor involved. Many
a time I was shocked to see what some publishers made from my original
text after rewording it to fit the mood of the webzine :-)
