Another practical concern is availability of the recipe in the kitchen
while you're cooking. Do you print out a copy in the family room (or
wherever the computer is) and carry it into the kitchen, thus incurring
the wrath of the tree-huggers but making you very popular with ink
suppliers?

A few years ago, my kids bought me a Demy recipe reader
(http://mydemy.com), which has its own set of issues but is small and
portable and sits nicely on the kitchen counter. Last Christmas, I
treated myself to an iPad and early on added a recipe file app, of which
there are dozens, so I could put the iPad on its stand in the kitchen.

The iPad apps are usually searchable by ingredient, keyword, or category,
which yes, begs the sausage vs. gravy argument, so you put it under both
and problem solved. And the one I use supports adding jpegs.
