I errattaed the very first ones in pen in my PHB. Since then I hardly look at the paper books & just use DDI.

Yep, I too take a pencil to my books. The margins are usually big enough, its super easy to see, and if they errata the errata, you can erase.
At first, I was loathe to write in the books, but then I decided, what the heck, I bought them so they're mine. I was much better off for it, since it was fairly easy to keep up with the errata when you're just pencilling it in.

In 3.5 I used to print out and paste the errata directly into my books. It works very well indeed. I just wonder if 4th Ed books would take kindly to the same technique. I haven't tried printing out the errata and matching it up in the books yet. It seems the tables are meant to be used that way, not sure about the actual print.
I write the changes in pencil in the books as well. I haven't kept up with all errata mind you. Things that are less relevant I remain unchanged. For example I know that skill challenges are now 3 failures static. So I don't go changing all the examples.
In the case of something like stealth or double weapons where major changes take place, I print and replace because writing is simply not feasible. This takes a lot more time though and so I avoid it when possible. I write on the stealth rules page "Refer to inside cover" and take the print out on said cover. I also did this with someone's (don't remember who unfortunately) detailed Line of Sight/Line of Effect/Cover diagram. Which has saved a lot of time when those inevitable questions arise in game.
Today is probably a good day to update errata though *sigh*, haven't done it since the big November update.
