I knew about smartplates and they sound really good. I'm almost set
to order them but I figure that as soon as I do I'll find them for
free. That's why I figured it would be a good time to ask!!

If you're willing to spend money, you might consider another option like
Sporty's ChartViewer. It is a subscription (which may not meet your
requirements) but, for about $11/mo including shipping, you get all IAPs for
all public use airports in the US (including AK, HI, PR and VI). The charts
are shipped on a single DVD in PDF format.

If you don't want the DVD, you can still use the software for free:

I used to be a Jepp subscriber, but found I can get the entire US on NACO
format for only a few dollars more than what I was paying for just the
Mid-Atlantic Jepp subscription. So far it's been worth it to me.
