(Note: it was a PDF and NOT an ebook, so I don't know if an ebook would mess with the formatting.) The paperback version was definitely handy for two or three of the later chapters that are each a study in refactoring some package of code. For these chapters, I had post it notes in up to five different places in the book, flipping back and forth between bits of the original code, bits of the refactored code, and the explanation of why the changes were made. If you have access to a printer, you could just print the relevant items for these chapters when it comes time. The PDF is easily found with a quick Google.(less)
