Are podcasts classified as 'web casts'?
Regular shows such as Dot Net Rocks are a great way to keep up to date with recent developments and unfamiliar topics.

I considered it to be the same as an audio book. Although I prefer well structured and well read audio books to interviews.

People that subscribe to code project like getting information from online sources who would have guessed?

One learning medium I can't stand is video. Takes me 10 times more time to go over the same amount of information compared to reading.

An article would say "Add folder X to system PATH". You hit Win + D, right click My Computer, etc... and maximise the browser again, and take off from where you left.
With a video, it takes any number of pauses to get even the simplest of things done.  It's *much* worse when (God forbid) you have some typing to do. Contrast copy-pasting a connection string versus straining your eyes to see if it's a 0 or an O.

My former employer decided to video tape the chief architect describing the system architecture. She was brilliant, but not good presenter. The video was meant to be quick introduction to new hires.
Well, not single person made it through the whole set.

Seconded. We are multitasking people, we need information quickly, we all have the ability to skim through text, then WHY OH WHY somebody has to force us to PLAY/PAUSE/PLAY/PAUSE/PLAY/PAUSE/PLAY/PAUSE/RANT?
While I can see some use in audio books (while commuting maybe?), I still can't find one for technical videos.

Overall, I like to have a book (=> vote) - yes one can curl up with a book about the STL and a cup of hot apple juice with ginger.
But, when I find a gem on the CodeProject, or even some lesser site, I'll want a hard copy.
There was an earlier discussion, triggered by Amazon's new (and costly) eBook reader. One thing that's missing from the readers is a comfortable look and feel. Perhaps real-book-ophilism is just from habituation, but it's harder to stick to reading anything of length in Adobe (etc.) than it is to a a book.
Newpaperlike articles, on the other hand, are best serve digitally.
Maybe I'll throw in a mild (yet traditional) complaint about the survey: The preferred medium depends upon the type of information!!!

I agree whole heartedly. Curling up with your laptop just doesn’t have the same degree of relaxation nor appeal. I also think the benefits of a book are inversely proportional to its size. My hat is off to those authors that persevere and produce their huge tombs of information. I for one wind up catching up on my reading while commuting and flying, not so much in the bath. I think twice & possible three times before throwing that 700 page tomb in my bag.

The traditional books are the best source of information lookup.

Yeah, but they need to be 'searchable'

What about indexes?

Yeah, but you can't use AND, OR, NOT

E-Paper. This is not so far.

Yep, you should be able to buy the books as a online version, thus saving paper etc.

Wouldn't that be an ebook, which is already a separate option in the poll?
