In general, I don't like to carry more than 3-4 books with me as GM.

If only it were so! Repeated material means a) I finish reading any new book much more quickly, because I know a good part of it already and b) looking for something is really painful, since I have to leaf through page upon page of the same material.

If 4E hadn't publicly been announced to refrain from these repetitions, I wouldn't have changed. The structured design is a big Plus, imo.

As opposed to shiny paper. Think book versus magazine.
