In fairness, I cull half the present AIP into "need to know" and carry DAP/East below 22S. This still gives a heavy flight bag.
As a test, I put the three 'new' books, complete, into the bag and my subjective analysis is that it's lighter. That can't be a bad thing?
However, sifting through the DAP, it seems that the charts are continuous page-by-page. Not so sure that's a good idea, although it will save a lot of paper.
Good luck all!
G'day
