I hope that Elecraft does not go down this path but agree absolutely that, these days, good searchable PDFs make life much easier. One thing that is always useful is the update register (already often used) and text markers indicating changes from the previous edition (often vertical bars at affected paragraphs).

Yes. This is the modern equivalent of those update methods of 
yesteryear, and a manual that is in any decent publishing application 
that can produce a pdf is trivially easy to update and to highlight 
changes. I consider such practice, along with a "change" list in the 
form of an appendix or separate document, to be the right way to do it. 
Any competent tech writer ought to be able make the edits and load the 
updated manual in no more than a half hour after the editing is 
complete. I can get a new or updated document on my own website in half 
that time if there's already a link to it on the main page, another 
10-15 minutes if it's a new document for which a new link is needed.
