Electronic Charts V's Good Old Paper

Coming from an operation where we use paper jeppesen charts I would like to [B]start the debate on wheather electronic charts really are a better solution.


Cost issue, does the expense of purchasing the hardware such as a tablet PC as well as the subscription to jepview and worldwide area updates justify itself.

Ease of use, do you find that the tablet pc or other electronic shart solutions are easy to use in the cockpit. eg if you get a late change of runway/approach are they that simple to use, is it easy to pull the relavent charts in a hurry.

Is the hardware robust enough???

Having never used any electronic version I ask for your opinions. I'm open to any suggestions comments etc.

What are the best standalone options out there in the market today.

You can rely on a physical piece of paper. Can you 100% rely on the electronic options around.

cheers
