I use my Kindle Paperwhite everynight, because I just love the reading experience on it. But I have to agree that technical materials are still best consumed physically. Novels and even non-fiction stories are great on the kindle. But if you need to frequently stop and take notes, analyze diagrams or figures, reference illustrations or sidebars, which are all common in technical books, then the physical book is the way to go. An acceptable alternative is a PDF copy on the iPad paired with an app like GoodNotes or ReadWise. These allow highlighting, notes, and other tools to improve the experience. I still prefer digital books, but this is an acceptable alternative. I recently bought a book set from CiscoPress (Cisco technical manual) and got the eBook + Physical combo. Well after I spent $100+ then Cisco sends me an email that the book is backordered for several months. So I only have the digital versions for a month or more until the physical one arrives. So these apps make for a reasonable alternative, but I am waiting to really dive into the content in detail until I get the real thing because it is just the best way to consume technical information, even though I am a heavy Kindle user for normal books.
