Clark, I guess I am a little bias, second generation IT, also my second software vendor, this time as a Developer. I would agree the manuals should be transportable, i.e; ipad, iphone, etc. Makes life a lot easier. I had to carry them on CD, ugh..

Thus I have yet to really figure how to use manual focus even though it was a major consideration when I bought the camera. Then there is the virtually useless set of papers that came with my LG IPS monitor that were not explicit in the set up instructions and showing of the connectors. I gave up on the first attempt in the evening and it was only through using wikipedia on my wife's computer that I was able to really see how a DVI connector worked.
