I would think it would be easier to find a place to stash a CD than a paper
manual.

Well, the CD will be a little harder to thumb through while in flight ;-)

Yeah, Mark, I did.

But a printed manual is a lot handier.

For crying out loud, cavelamb. Jim said that (some) STCs required printed manuals.
To that, Geoff said that the CD would be easier to stash in the airplane.
To that, I said that it would be harder to thumb through the CD while in flight.

Do you get it now?

Sheesh.

Which is why the manufacture give you one in the first place.

So you think I can print a single copy from a CD cheaper than the maker of
the widget can print 100's?

Not with an inkjet printer, certainly.

Then again, if the widget maker has any sense at all, he's not going to
be printing 100s or 1,000s at a time. Warehousing and other handling
costs.

Not that he's going to get much of a price break from the printer for
such small quantities.

Not necessarily, but I think Richard's suggestions shifts the cost from
the manufacturer to the consumer. I think that's what he was getting at...

And that is fine but not if he thinks it is better for the consumer than the
manufacture just increasing the price to cover the increased cost. Please
keep one thing in mind though. THe way I read the original post was we were
talking about a item that having the manual in the aircraft was a
requirement.
