Yeah, I picked POODA up in Waterstones the other day and nearly broke with my 
electronic-format-only rule. Then I saw the paper (it's slightly shiny - 
nowhere near as nice as the stuff in an O'Reilly book), the font, and the 
gratuitous colour and decided against it. Funny what you get used to.

I'm glad GOOS isn't the same, or I wouldn't read it. Mind you, it's in nice 
crisp black and white and I still haven't read it...
