 Cheap paper back stuff I leave for "Dec manuals".I do NOT
 read online. The kindles I have are for fan-translated Japanese
 novels and assorted *unbound* pdf's. 
I never could understand why there was such extreme reluctance to release
K&R in hardcover.

Yeah.  $20 or $30 for a paperback is expensive.  But $30 or $40 for
hardcover doesn't seem as unreasonable.
