All of my manuals were officially classified as "vaporware" at some point a year or two ago, meaning that they exist only electronically now. For about two years before that, we released in PDF plus provided a print on demand service for our users. We found that there was no demand for printed copies--other than from our own tech support people, who ordered the manuals instead of printing them out themselves.
Every now and then, we'll get a requirement for a printed version of a quick reference guide for a specific customer. Pretty much everyone else is happy with PDFs on a user CD.
