On average, I read about a book a week.  I have for years.  I do not advocate burning books, nor can this be inferred from my posts.

I do not, however, generally read software manuals for enlightenment or pleasure.

Nor do I, when stuck to remember a function or technique, reach for a paper manual.  I open another window and search for what I want, in the PDF manual or on-line.
