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


But it would not be vast majority of PICs. Now you could say. "OK, then have
it in both formats. one for those that have a CD reader in the cockpit and a
paper one for those that don't." Then you miss out on any savings gained
from the CD because the per paper manual cost drop significantly as the
volume go up.



Individual unit costs may drop with volumn, but the total cash outlay is

much higher (lots of units).
