Getting Real

By HMK on March 21, 2006 1:06 PM |

There's a new book out there by 37signals called Getting Real. True to their philosophy of less features, it's PDF only.

Not enough features, folks.

If they would have a dead-tree edition of the PDF, I would buy it right away.

  • Reading a book on the screen sucks
  • Printing out 171 pages on an aging, constantly-paper-jamming laser printer sucks even more
  • Reading a stack of 171 (or 171 / 2) DIN A4 / US letter sized sheets of paper while sitting on the, uhm, well, "throne" sucks royally (*).

There's no alternative to the clean, user-friendly UI of a book.

(*) Hey, I'm a married man & dad of two wonderful daughters. Sitting on the, uhm, well, "throne" is the only time I have left to read a book in peace & quiet)

[Update: No, I don't want to bind my own paperback book]
