Yeah it does frustrate me. It seems that, for whatever reason, upper management are against going electronic. I can't fathom why. It's cheaper and easier to control. The Sims still need hard copies of the FCOM's and some ops manuals but the pilots shouldn't really need anything in hard copy. They may WANT something physical in front of them but that is tough luck really. It doesn't affect performance, if they have a problem then the checklist is in the QRH in the flight deck anyway.
It seems to me more work than is necessary and I wondered how other airliners approached it.
