With the rise in popularity of ebooks, "number of pages" hopefully will come to matter less, as you'll care more about "quality of content" than "does this paper book feel thick and hefty and worth the $40+ price".
- ekianjo 15y agoNot sure where most people stand on this, but if I buy a technical reference book, there is no way I want it to have only as a ebook format. If possible, I'd want to have both print and digital version. Unless you have multiple screens, it becomes very tedious to read the ebook and type your own code at the same time. Of course, an e-reader would help, but it's still nowhere as practical when you just want to "browse" in the contents of the book. Books are big, take space, are heavy to carry, but they have several functions that ebooks cannot replicate easily.
