I make a 8.5 x 11 copy of the NCAA, FED, OBR or any rulebook I need to learn and put it in a binder with sheet protectors. I find it a great deal easier to absorb in that format than those little rulebooks.
For on-the-road reference, I guess those little ones are more handy, but as far as home library reading and highlighting go, the download-and-print-and-bind method is the way to go. You will be able to read it for longer periods of time this way. It's somewhat of a hassle, but once you have these binders all set up, it's fabulous. (The NCAA one's the easiest--they
want you to have their rules; the two others have to be opened and downloaded a section at a time.)
