Woodworking library must-haves

Everything Krenov wrote.  "A Cabinetmaker's Notebook" is required reading.  The rest are good but not as good.  "Soul of a Tree" by Nakashima is my second favorite.  These are both primarily philosophical books.  Most "how-to" woodworking books put me to sleep, so I tend not to read those.

Not to sound like too much of a groupie, but for a good basic understanding of the tools and flow of a 21st century shop, I recommend Marc's book Hybrid Woodworking. I am planning to read much more on woodworking I 2016 so this list of great interest to me as well. 

Question: I do most of my reading on my iPad as it's always with me so I can read more. Are there any of these books that would just not be as beneficial in digital format?  I know some are probably ONLY available in print which is fine. Advice?
