- pferde 8y agoLikewise. Physical books simply lack the Ctrl+F key combo.
- collyw 8y agoCtrl + F feels like going to the index and looking something up. In that case its faster with an ebook. However scrolling through / flipping through pages to find something feels much more effective with a real book.
- tgragnato 8y agoTBH the index feels well-curated. It’s not one of those cases when you have hundreds of pages just tied together in a pdf. https://imgur.com/a/BPNCBnp https://imgur.com/a/BPNCBnp
- fernandotakai 8y agohonestly, same for me. i really like to write on technical books (i know, i know) and highlight parts. i tried doing the same with pdfs... and it's just not the same thing.
