I agree in not having a huge fondness for reading pdf's, or e-books either (just back from checking a book out from the library in fact). Nevertheless, here is my pub gaming gear:

A porfolio with a fire, etc.; this means no greasy fingerprints on my game books from '81, very compact, plus it reduces people's urge to flip through the book looking for a rule, so we just wing it. Nothing in that picture is a heartbreaking irreplaceable loss either, if I lose it, or if it gets stolen. Those are the benefits; however, I still prefer having a printed book to read and grok the rules, to the point I'll pay $70 for Swedish game book, such as I did with M-Space.
Reminded me of when alot of my books got stolen in the mid 80s. We were playing at the Library.
I got up to go to the bathroom and when I came back all my hardcovers gone.. (I was the DM)
The group hid them in the shelves with regular books so I couldn't find them.
I guess they were finally sick of Count Strahd and his Castle turning up everywhere.
Luckily I put my initials in them and the low int thieves brought them into school so I was able to get them back.
I could of used a PDF then... and a portable TV for my Commodore 64.
