Not sure why paper plus PDF would be better unless, you feel you need to flip pages back and forth often.

It's a big book. Save your back (unless you need it as part of your weight lifting workout).

Perhaps I phrased that wrong. I should have said book+PDF+CD. The combination of the 3 is better than just the Kindle Edition.

I prefer the paper book to the Kindle because the Kindle's screen doesn't show enough text, nor does it turn the page fast enough.

And the weight of the paper copy doesn't really matter because I can carry the PDF instead.
