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.

Yes, about like me. I do a lot from PDFs, too. In this case, the
paper is important since I'm in contact with students at high schools
and middle schools, teachers, and various others on a day to day basis
where the subject may come up and a computer isn't nearby. In this
particular case, color is _very_ important, too.
