I'm the exact opposite. I only purchase physical books that have a "timeless quality" to them - so that rules out 99% of tech specific books. Further, I'd vastly prefer a searchable PDF for some random O'Reilly book so I can work through the exercises at my computer easily.
The physical books I have are more like coffee table compendiums around a vast array of subjects that aren't intended to be read sequentially - I can just pick it up and start a random chapter and enjoy them for short sessions. Examples are The Disappearing Spoon, A Short History of Nearly Everything, The Violinist's Thumb, etc.
I'm glad you enjoyed "Pro Git" but that sounds like the kind of thing that I would use as a doctor to place a patient into a medically induced coma.
