ok

Also, here's the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:

I had downloaded the PDFs of the FAA's books before I went out and bought
the print versions. Why, some of you may ask, would I pay good money for
something I already had free electronic copies? Because it's tough to haul
my desktop (or even laptop) computer into the (ahem) bathroom, or to the
easy chair in the living room, or prop on my chest while lying in bed.

Printer cartridges and paper surely is cheaper?

Actually, no. It's vastly cheaper to buy a book than it is to try to
print it at home. In fact, even photocopies can be more expensive
than a bound book under some circumstances.

I'm not sure if there is a big difference. My laser printer only does black
and white anyway (and my wife's color inkjet is very slow). And there is
the need for some binding. On very long electronic documents I tend to opt
for print copies if the cost isn't too bad and the time to get them isn't
critical.

All things considered I found it easier to order the books from Amazon.
