From: I wouldn't know.
We still have paper manuals for each pilot (OM-A, B1 to B3, no route manual though). On board we have one set paper manuals and two sets route manuals, two EFB Class 1 on which are all manuals as well and of course we have all manuals and the route manual (EAG) accessible via intranet.

On dual FMC airplane we could do away with all paper documentation, however our old 733s are single FMC and most pilots still prefer paper charts over the electronic version on the EFB so we're quite happy to have our paper route manuals on board. Performance and W+B is only available via EFB though.

Most of us don't like the EFB since it is very bulky and that is not a good thing in the cramped cockpit of a classic 73.
