it would be interesting to know from individuals employed in the avaition industry if, with the introduction of electronic flight bags etc, paper charts are already starting to disappear from the flight deck.
The transition across to the various forms of Electronic Flight bags is a slow and sometimes (very very) frustrating process but the answer to the question is ...Yes (sadly for collectors and the squirrels amongst us)

....Where I work our manuals ( FCOMs/Ops manual, or "pilot's notes" in old money) went almost fully electronic a few months ago, in fact everything apart from our QRH (Quick Reference Handbook, mostly emergency reference stuff) is electronic. All our navigational charting should be fully electronic, apart from some small scale oceanic/remote area charts, in the next few months, once our trial period is finally complete....
