Yep, agree completely. Every attempt to introduce an electronic logbook has been a farce as none of them replicate the airworthiness functionality and basic practicality of the paper book. Notwithstanding the inconvenience that the missing F700 can cause, all of the information is available elsewhere, it just needs to be put together.
Interesting to see how the A400M's Maintenance Data System (which will include an e-F700) is proceeding.
