Downloading manuals is nice but time consuming and takes up twice the space plus they're not bound if you print them out .

I always find info I need for a job in several different places in the same book ~ not easy/quick to flip through pages in PDF format .
Once you've downloaded what you need you can always print them out. Ring binder them if you like or take your USB stick to the local print shop and they'll print and bind in a book. Still cheaper than buying from the organ grinder - choose the cheeky monkey every time!
