[Elecraft] A modest proposal...

[Ray Sills]

Not to mention that fraction of builders who -do not- have internet  
access.  Or will be in a location without internet for an interval of  
time, but want to have reference material available... for example,   
when on a DXpedition.

Maybe it could be an ordering option, with a modest discount for  
choosing "paperless" manuals.  Since is paperless idea is "green"..  
perhaps Elecraft would donate the cost of printing a manual to an  
environmental fund, thereby doubling the value of not printing a manual.

Personally, I would like both options.
