Not to mention that you can read a book while the computer isn't
working, in an effort to make it work again.
perhaps slightly off-topic but, when it comes to books, i'm a big fan
of this approach:

my favourite reference for docbook and XSL processing. readable
online for free, or throw a few dollars at the author and buy the real

p.s. DISCLAIMER: i was an informal reviewer of the early editions,
so my name shows up in the acknowledgements. but i have no financial
interest whatsoever in that book. i just really like it.
