>>Depends on the book. I have some books on .NET Generics in C# that are about 16 years old, but still have some valuable information. If I were still developing actively in VFP, things like the Hacker's Guide are worth keeping around.
>I haven't looked at a tech book in years. Just about everything I want to know I can find on the web.
>In fact I haven't looked at a physical book in years, come to think of it.
>I get e-books from the library and do a lot of reading on my Kindle. That's much easier on my senior vision than "real" books.
>I recently treated myself to the larger format Kindle and it's even more senior friendly.
I also read on Kindle 99% of the time. But some books are not available in Kindle format, unfortunately. I recently read a paper book of almost 600 pages and small print. It was a struggle in the beginning but then I got use to it. The book was well worth it. I have half a dozen books that I hope some day will be published in Kindle format.
