I print it all and put it into a binder.  I've got a whole shelf just =
full of PIC Datasheets.
I find it much easier to have 3 or 4 binders open at the same time =
during PIC code development.

I compromise and print a few sheets off that I write on.

I use the PDFs on screen as well and sometimes add sticky yellow notes
to them. They get archived with the project so they are not replaced by
later versions.

Also high resolution (1600 x 1200) on a good solid 21" monitor in a low-
glare environment.

Dual monitors may work for you- there are some issues like what happens
when you double-click the title bar- does it maximize to fill just one
monitor or both?
