[Elecraft] K3 Manual Question

[Julian G4ILO]

I'm glad you're not in charge, then.:) Some (many?) of us only have
cheap, slow home inkjet printers that use very expensive ink
cartridges and it would take a long time and be prohibitively
expensive to print off a manual. And I don't want to turn on a
computer every time I want to look up something in the manual.

Perhaps in the cities there are places that will print a PDF at
reasonable cost, but I have never come across a service that will do
that here in the UK.

Perhaps the answer would be to make the printed manual an extra cost
option. Then those who don't want it don't have to pay for it and
those who care about having the latest version could order up a new
one whenever they want.
