Last I knew, PDF documents weren't searchable via the command line. I 
saved all the pages from the website into a folder on my machine. This 
way I can call up various command line tools to find what I am looking for.

Since I already always have a terminal open, it makes sense to have the 
files all searchable from it. A PDF would be a pain as it isn't nearly 
as compatible with my current tools and I don't want to have to open 
something else whenever I need to find something in the book.
