Message:I use my hardcopy when I game. I find I can flip the pages to look-up card flips easier than scrolling a pdf. Yet that's just my lack of practice; if I memorize a few page numbers it speeds my indexing.
Paper is expensive and the layout worries are not incidental. With a pdf dump I don't need to sweat page count nor pagination. Left reading or right reading, hanging words and forever seeing a mistake etched in pulp.
I know a guy who refuses to use pdf, because he feels it can be changed by the government. Okay, it also can be changed by the author to eliminate careless mistakes. Sure, it also can be edited by a censor. Is that any different than asking people to burn books or blow up disco albums?
Maybe the author too will change a work after re-education. That doesn't bother me either. Big Brother is my second best friend after anyone buying Cutlass.
