<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 854424, member: 5629&quot;]I have a number of references (not just numismatic) in electronic form that I do, in fact, read and use. Such reference material, contrary to popular belief, has not been constrained to the use of a desktop computer or laptop for years now.&nbsp; I use an old iPaq rz1710 Pocket PC when I&#039;m &quot;out and about&quot;.&nbsp; I can put any number of notes, and carry a number of references on an SDHD card, including CDNs and scans of Red/Blue book pages. It is easily turned on and off. With instant on, I push a button and I&#039;m right back to the page I left off on.&nbsp; Electronic (pdf) format is a very portable way of &quot;taking your books with you&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I still prefer to have and read the majority of my reference materials in paper form. For one, it is much easier on the eyes.&nbsp; When conducting research, it is much easier to spread out a number of books than to be switching virtual desktops on the PC to see the data all at once, or to compare quotes, or similarities in thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paper format allow a wider spreading of material and a faster scanning with the eyes. I have found it much harder to speed read an LCD screen than paper and ink.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had to make the choice of exclusively one or the other, I would pick paper any day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
