Yes, but I happen to like having paper copies that I can pass out to
others or otherwise share over a dinner table. There is no replacing
paper, sometimes.


Same here, and I cling to my old databooks because companies have a habit of dumping datasheets the millisecond they obsolete a part. Or they throw it all into the dumpster upon a corporate takeover.

However, I try not to buy or free-order new material. Much of it is unnecessarily bleached, comes on glossy paper, is heavy, all not very friendly to the environment. So I made directories on a part of a server that all in the house can access. This contains lots of PDF files. I only print out stuff I know I'll need over and over again, such as tables and graphs.
