Yes, multiple displays kick many varieties of ass. I use dual monitors at work and at home, and I feel crippled if I have to use a computer that only has one display. This sort of thing is what I frequently end up using the second monitor for... displaying documentation. Even if you just pick up a cheap 15" or 17" somewhere as the secondary display, it's an improvement.

I too prefer a paper book, but I don't know why.... web-based is so much better... free, up-to-date, searchable, copy-and-pastable... of course eye strain is a factor when a lot of reading is involved.
