I remember a great line from the 90s on the topic:
"you can't grep paper!"
Unfortunately I prefer physical books/paper for most circumstances and uses. It is *great*, however that I have at my fingertips a huge collection of electronic documents formatted (usually) professionally, both online and downloaded. Riches beyond my imagination 20-30 years ago.

Dissenting opinion here. I dislike paper books. That said, PDF, i.e. preformatted content, only looks good on large screens like computer displays or large tablets.

You're lucky that you're willing to read PDFs. I want to hold the book and my 🖨️ isn't robust enough to put out a whole book.

Nick,
It does look like a good read, though your reminder is a good one. I wish
there were a decent app for predicting the value xyz information will be to
me, how well it will synergize with other experiences. OTOH, I know I would
get bored if my path were known to me. Ah, but I am very happy to have a pdf
copy of John Lee's text on smooth manifolds!
