I agree with you, Trevor.  The PDFs are so much nicer for the exact reasons you stated.  However, out in the field, it's nice having the manuals in my camera bag.

I always download the pdf version of the manual, because I can't read the printed version without a magnifying glass

Me too!  I like it that I can magnify the text on a soft copy.

Me three,  I need to use a magnifying glass when reading manuals but with pdf soft copies one can increase the font size to ones confort reading size. 🔎

So we have three valid approaches

  1. Use a hardcopy manual, when available
  2. Use the softcopy method, printing hardcopy as necessary
  3. Use the softcopy on a device.

All perfectly valid methodologies, as long as the materials are available.  I have never actually had to buy a 3rd-party manual except for my Sony RX-10IV because the menus are so awful and so is the original manual!  In that case I found a few extra things that seriously improved the use of the camera.   They were in the original manual, but rather buried.
