I'm a software developer and I still find I prefer print over screen, both when engaging in field-specific study or just simply reading for pleasure.
Most of the free tutorials I use are found on websites though so that's how I do most of my learning.
When it comes to tried and tested texts like Pragmatic Programmer, Effective Java, Web Application Hacker's Handbook etc. I will always buy the hard copy textbook and forego the use of the eBook.
I had a Kindle Paper White at one point and while I used it a fair bit when travelling, I still preferred stocking a bookshelf with hard copies for reading at home.
Something about the experience of flipping through pages makes the whole process that much smoother for me.
