Well, of course people like nice physical copies of books! They're perfect for throwing at people who say they prefer reading on their kindles. And anyways, what better way to understand the complex coding concepts than by using a real-life book as your coding bible? (Bonus points if it's big enough to use as a pillow during those all-night coding sessions).

I can respect that. It's good to set the devices down occasionally. Kinda surprising coming from that generation though.
