There's nothing wrong with paper books.

I never said there's something wrong with paper books.

I'm even reading one right now. Lord of Rings paper version.

But for computer science students textbooks, it's heavy, inconvenient and spacey.

The internet or even PDFs are better.

Why?

It's easier to do research, CTRL+F and copy/paste some programming code.

If you're copy pasting code you're not learning a whole lot.

You're clearly not a programmer lol

Copy pasting code is THE WORST way to learn how to program.
