Power systems involves heavy derivations (e.g., the ABCD parameters of a transmission line). Flipping between pages to view a diagram on page 50 and a derivation on page 51 is frustrating on a PDF. Furthermore, the numerical problems require scrap paper and thumbing back to formulae, which is easier with a physical index.
His digital PDF copy was littered with yellow highlights, but he preferred the physical book. There was something about the smell of the paper that made the Gauss-Seidel method feel slightly less like a personal attack. "If I can just master the swing equation
