Yes, that's why my quote includes the phrase "book index". My point was
that "Programming in Scala" can be a good reference if you have the PDF
(it could be in addition to the paper version) and use the search
function of your PDF reader.

I definitely agree that it's nice to read a book without a computer.
However, when using it as a reference, I'm almost always near a
computer. Maybe others use different approaches, but I made it clear in
my original statement that it was about my personal workflow.
