Shmuel:
Proper formatting is not an answer. Many a times I have 6 or 8
manuals open on my desk at even given time while I am trying to find
an answer to a question.
I don't care how big a screen there is given my eye sight (or lake
there of) can I find quickly a pdf or bks that I am looking for. I
can remember where I put down a manual a lot faster than going
through a screen(s). Now this maybe doable in 3D but I wouldn't bet
on it.

I hate PDF's and BKS ... Especially when I am not sure exactly
what I am looking for. With a real manual I can put a finger in
the current location and go wondering about the manual and if
needed I just go back to where my finger is.
With proper formatting and proper viewing software there's no reason
that you couldn't do everything with BM and PDF that you do with dead
trees. It would be more productive to convince IBM to improve the
tools rather than to push for restoring paper copies.
