Hear, hear.

The last couple of weeks I've had to search out documentation on
various fields I don't know much about, and it's rather heartbreaking
for me to see just how much stuff is only documented on the Web.  I
want to print things out, sit down in my sofa and read things off of
paper, not sit staring at the screen while reading documentation.
It's fine for reading quickie stuff, but for actual reading, it's
awful, I think.

I'm really happy with the FSF's choice of TeXinfo.  We get paper, info
and HTML documentation all in one.
