Bristol.GS additional cost for paper manuals

So I've been looking at starting my ATPL's for some time, and after various discussions, school visits and comparisons, Bristol was always quite the obvious choice.

The cost for Module 1 has been £1450, and the complete course £2350.

I have just been browsing the website tonight, with the intention of purchasing the course this evening, and have noticed they have added an additional £500 to the cost if you would like the manuals in paper in addition to digital.

Now don't get me wrong, I understand in today's age, the majority of study will be completed on mac/iPad.. etc, BUT with a price tag of nearly 2.4k, I expect to have a full set of books to source when I need them, from the shelf.

The additional cost for these paper manuals have just been added, as last week when I checked the website, it stated that the manuals were included with the course package.

Does anyone else think this is unreasonable?

It may have swayed me to go elsewhere.

Cheers
