How do you read programming books?

Nowadays I buy paperbacks and when reading i go to a different table armed only with paper and pencil, and it works for me. I have finished more programming books in recent times than ever before.

This is great advice! Also why I love my Kindle and really appreciate books written with e-readers in mind, such as the Ecto book (here’s my review of it: Programming Ecto (Pragprog) - #40 by AstonJ).
