It's prohibitively expensive and adds significant complications for the
manufacturer, who has to maintain revision information per-page. The
solution of offering a downloadable PDF of the manual is simpler for the
manufacturer and solves the problem for the relatively small number of
people who care about having the very latest software rev and manual.

If I was in charge I would provide an electronic manual supplemented by a
thorough quick-reference booklet like the ones from
www.niftyaccessories.com. Users could print the manual if they wanted, but
otherwise I wouldn't have killed as many trees, Al Gore would be happy, and
we'd save $10/unit sold over distributing a seldom-read manual.
