I've been reading lots of books (On computer graphics) and it's surprising how much better the average book content is then most online resources. I guess the difficulty to get it published really forces the quality to be high. It's so easy to get a copy of "The Cg Tutorial" for a couple of bucks online and get an overview of the graphics pipeline that is super higher quality(Though for 20 year old GPUs).

It's great that people are putting versions of their books online. I just hope that they keep making physical versions. I much prefer reading on paper rather than a screen or even kindle.

More people writing online should get an editor. I work with someone doing that for me at work and it takes my writing up an entire level of quality.
