Physical book vs ebook

I'm beginning to educate myself on REI and have gathered a list to start reading via recommendations from the BP community and the podcast, and I'm curious to hear what everyone prefers when it comes to collecting the books either as ebooks or physical copies.

I'm a big fan of having all of my books on my kindle, but I'm wondering if it might be a better idea to have the actual physical REI books for easier access when quickly trying to flip through.

I know this is a silly question, but I'm just trying to figure out what to do since I'm about to purchase several.  :)

Yep, books that you want to refer back to are easier to handle in paper form, IMO. I have J Scott's rehab estimating book on my iPad- wish it was a physical copy! Kindle version is great for other types of casual reading. (Or so I keep telling my husband, who has literally thousands of books... we are also running out of room!)
