I went to a Tufte talk and it was much better. It included "free" copies of his books and to be honest I wasn't very impressed with them either. They didn't convey his main points very well. The biggest takeaway I got from his talk was that it's better to substitute a stack of low-information powerpoint slides with a few high density images along with a paper written in normal English. But to be honest, it's way less work to make a stack of low-information powerpoint slides, so that's here to stay.
