On the occasions where I've had this choice, I've almost invariably
opted for the .pdf because you get it faster, then once I've got that,
not found a compelling reason for getting the hardcopy. Need to read
away from a computer? Print some pages. Want to snuggle up with it in
bed? Uh, a software manual? And, as pointed out, being able to search
is a very powerful thing...
