I have no current access to Jeppview but last time I saw the product, the "VFR pages" part of it seemed identical in content to the Bottlang VFR paper guides. And the price was similar.

The electronic version is much better because you get the download or the CD and you just need to buy a cheap and dirty laptop (you can get the "EEE" laptops down to about £250, with Windoze XP) to view the stuff. No need to stuff paper updates into ring binders, when 99% of the updates will never get looked at. And you need a laptop anyway when travelling, with a 3G dongle, so you can get notams, etc, file flight plans...
